----- -------
Outside the house Mr. Simpson announcedthat Sally couldn't go to the meeting.
He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royceand she ran inside weeping.
She got to her room and tears splashed the pictureof the new Messiah.
She picked up a book of her fathers lifeand threw it on the fire!
She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.
The theme of the sermon was come unto me,
Love will find a way,
So Sally decided to ignore her dad,and sneak out anyway!
She spent all afternoon getting ready,and decided she'd try to touch him,
Maybe he'd see that she was freeand talk to her this Sunday.
She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.
She arrived at six and the place was swingingto gospel music by nine.
Group after group appeared on the stageand Sally just sat there crying.
She bit her nails looking pretty as a pictureright in the very front row
And then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badgeran on and said 'here we go!'
The crowd went crazy
As Tommy hit the stage!
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed
The crowd back in a rage!
But soon the atmosphere was cooleras Tommy gave a lesson.
Sally just had to let him know she loved himand leapt up on the rostrum!
She ran cross stage to the spotlit figureand touched him on the face
Tommy whirled around as a uniformed man,threw her of the stage.
She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.
Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down,mingling with her tears,
Tommy carried on preachingand his voice filled Sally's ear
She caught his eye she had to trybut couldn't see through the lights
Her face was gashed and the ambulance menhad to carry her out that night.
The crowd went crazy
As Tommy left the stage!
Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch
And a gash across her face! O
Ooooh.
Sixteen stitches put her right and her Dad said'don't say I didn't warn yer'.
Sally got married to a rock musicianshe met in California
Tommy always talks about the daythe disciples all went wild!
Sally still carries a scar on her cheekto remind her of his smile.
She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.
