Open the door, open your heart,
\nAnd then we got somewhere to start,

\nTodays a brand new day.<\/p>\n

You gotta run with me now, I’ll show you how,
\nThe world is waiting, take a bow,
\nShow them its you, what you can do,
\nTogether we two can win.<\/p>\n

‘Rock on Tommy’, dance to a tune that this guitar sings,
\n‘Rock on Tommy’, come on and spread your wings (Spread your wings).<\/p>\n

Follow me through, into the sun,
\nAnd we can smile at everyone,
\nJoin in with me, then we are free,
\nIt isn’t hard to do.<\/p>\n

Life is a song, so just sing along,
\nAnd then we know we can’t go wrong,
\nJust you and me, come on and see,
\nTogether we’ll be O.K,
\nTogether we’ll be O.K,
\nTogether we’ll be O.K.<\/p>\n

Tommy: Try and forget it
\nBobby: What d’ya mean Tommy, it were great, it’s our own show. We’re stars now, y’know Tommy. You should be happy, I don’t know whats wrong wi’you.
\nT: Whats wrong? Don’t you know pal? Can’t you see it?
\nB: Theres nothing wrong Tommy, we were great us Tommy
\nT: You just cant see it can you, eh. Just look at you
\nB: What do you mean by that, excuse me?
\nT: Well, for a start, why do you insist on wearing those ridiculous clothes? Ever since I’ve known you, I’ve never seen you in anything that fits.
\nB: Everybody can’t be smooth and suffocated like you can they Tommy?
\nT: You mean sophisticated not suffocated. You can’t even get that right. Just look at the suit. I mean, where did you get it from?
\nB: Theres nothing wrong with the suit Tommy. It might be on the big side but its the smallest I could get. I can’t help being small you know, you can hurt me at times.
\nT: OK Bob, but surely when you go on TV you could smarten yourself up
\nB: What d’ya mean
\nT: Well, get yourself a decent suit. At least where the trousers fitted. Then you wouldn’t have to wear those ridiculous braces
\nB: I like braces me Tommy. You’re not with it you Tommy, I’m punk. Anyway, you might not like the braces I wear, but explain this Tommy. What about all them millions of people watch our show, and if there were anything wrong wi’ me they wouldn’t watch would they Tommy. They’d rather see me standing there than see you looking like JR from that Dallas
\nT: Well they’d rather see me looking like JR than you looking like Jon Boy from the Waltons. Anyhow, how do you know theres millions of people watch the show. You only think they did.
\nB: Don’t be silly, I know they did.
\nT: Well how then?
\nB: Because on the other side’s Mastermind and nobody watches Mastermind do they Tommy. Thats for them brainy inflectuals. You must think I’m daft you Tommy.
\nT: But Bobby, thats a very popular programme. Everybodys not like you
\nB: What do you mean
\nT: Just because you can’t hardly read and write.
\nB: Well?
\nT: And you still read childrens comics. You think that Lorraine Chase is a genius.
\nB: She is
\nT: Masterminds watched by millions of ordinary people. In fact, its one of my favourite people.
\nB: He Hee, you little liar Tommy. You’ve always fancied yourself havent you. Just because you moved into the C Stream at school. You always thought you were a cut above me didn’t you. Anyway, I’ll prove to you Tommy how popular we are. Lets me and you go to the pub now for a drink and I’ll show you. And you wait and see Tommy, they’ll come running to me for my autograph

\nB: Yes you hate me Tommy
\nT: No I don’t hate you
\nB: No Tommy I think you hate me
\nT: I don’t hate you,
\nB: Well I hate you
\nT: There’s no need to say that
\nB: Well you said my punk was terrible
\nT: It was
\nB: Well Tommy to be honest I’m not a punk singer, I’m more a country
\nT: Yeah, that’s where you should be Bobby, in the country
\nB: No, country and western
\nT: Ok then, OK, you can do the country and western, but you’ve got to get the American accent
\nB: Listen to this. Mighty fine pardner
\nT: Ooh OK you’ve got it
\nB: OK Tommy, do Coward of the County. Julian will love this Tommy, it’s about cowboys.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>Coward of the County<\/h2>\nhttps:\/\/comedykings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/RockOnTommy-CowardOfTheCounty.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Now everyone considered him the coward of our county.
\nNow he never stood one single time to prove our county wrong.
\nAnd do you know, his mother named him Tommy
\n(Tommy),
\nBut the folks just called him yellow,
\n(No need for that)
\nBut you know, something always told me that they were reading Tommy wrong.
\n(You could be right)<\/p>\n

Cos you know, he was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison.
\n(Aww)
\nWell I looked after Tommy ’cause he was my brother’s son, if you know what I mean
\n(I know what you mean)
\nI can still recall that final words that my brother said to Tommy:
\n(What were they?)
\n“Son, my life is over, but yours has just begun.
\n(Aww)<\/p>\n

He said
\nPromise me, son, not to do the things I’ve done.
\nJust walk away from trouble if you can.
\nNow it won’t mean you’re weak if you turn the other cheek.
\nI hope you’re old enough to understand:
\nSon, you don’t have to fight to be a man.”<\/p>\n

Now, you know I’ve always said there’s someone for everyone and our Tommy’s love was a girl called Becky.
\n(Becky)
\nIn her arms he didn’t have to prove, you know, he didn’t prove he was a man.
\n(He wouldn’t do)
\nWell one day while he was working them Gatlin boys came calling.
\n(Gatlin boys)
\nAnd they took turns at Becky…. you know, there were three of them!
\n(Three of em)<\/p>\n

Well listen to this
\n(What happened)
\nTommy opened up the door and he saw his Becky cryin’.
\n(Yes)
\nWell, the torn dress, the shattered look, it was more than he could stand.
\n(Is it any wonder?)
\nDo you know what he did?
\n(What?)
\nHe reached above the fireplace, he took down his daddy’s picture.
\n(Nice)
\nAs his tears fell on his daddy’s face, I heard him say these words:
\n(What did he say)<\/p>\n

He said
\n“Promise me, son, not to do the things I’ve done.
\nWalk away from trouble if you can.
\nNow it won’t mean you’re weak if you turn the other cheek.
\nI hope you’re old enough to understand:
\nSon, you don’t have to fight to be a man.”<\/p>\n

Them Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into that barroom.
\nOne of them got up and met him halfway across the floor.
\n(That sounds like trouble)
\nTommy turned around and they stood up and they said, “Look, yellow’s leaving.”
\n(Yellow)
\nWell, you coulda heard the pin drop
\n(Yes)
\nHe went and locked the door
\n(Thats trouble now)<\/p>\n

Because you know why?
\n(why)
\nTwenty years of crawling up, they were bottled up inside him.
\n(Would be, would be)
\nYou know something, he was holding nothing back; pow pow pow, he let them have it all.
\n(No wonder)
\nAnd when Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standing.
\n(A Gatlin boy)
\nHe said, “This one’s for Becky,” and he watched the last one fall.
\n(Good for him)<\/p>\n

And I heard them words again
\n“I promised you, Dad, not to do the things I’ve done.
\nI’ll walk away from trouble when I can.
\nNow please don’t think I’m weak, I couldn’t turn the other cheek,
\nAnd Papa, I’m sure you understand:
\nSometimes you gotta fight when you’re a man.”<\/p>\n

Now everyone considered him the coward of our county.<\/p>\n

T: I feel like crying
\nB: Don’t be stupid it’s only a story
\nT: Well I’ll tell you this much, Julian doesn’t like it
\nB: Come on Tommy, look at him, he’s crying
\nT: Yes, because he hates it. And I’ll tell you this, you’ve ruined two songs, not one, you weren’t satisfied with one, you’ve ruined two. I’m going to do the next on on my own
\nB: Without me
\nT: Yes
\nB: OK big head, I’ll stand here and watch you do it then
\nT: No you won’t. You can sit with Julian in the control box.
\nB: OK Tommy I will. He doesn’t frighten me. And I hope you get it all wrong.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother<\/h2>\nhttps:\/\/comedykings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/RockOnTommy-HeAintHeavy.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

The road is long
\nWith many a winding turn
\nThat leads us to who knows where
\nWho knows where
\nBut I’m strong
\nStrong enough to carry him
\nCos he ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.<\/p>\n

So on we go
\nHis welfare is my concern
\nNo burden is he to bear
\nWe’ll get there
\nFor I know
\nHe would not encumber me
\nHe ain’t so heavy, cos he’s my brother.<\/p>\n

If I’m laden at all
\nI’m laden with sadness
\nIf everyone’s heart
\nIsn’t filled with the gladness
\nOf love for one another.<\/p>\n

It’s a long, long road
\nFrom which there is no return
\nWhile we’re on the way to there
\nWhy not share
\nFor I know
\nHe would not encumber me
\nHe ain’t so heavy, cos he’s my brother.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>Pathos<\/h2>\n

T: What do you think
\nB: What do I think? I was sat in there with Julian, and I were a bit choked Tommy because you were singing that so well. You know Tommy, I sat there and it suddenly hit me Tommy, you’re too good for me
\nT: No
\nB: No Tommy, no. You are, you’re too good. I’m just a welder me Tommy really. You were fabulous Tommy, and all I can say is, go on your own Tommy, you could be a big star without me, go on your own Tommy, forget about me
\nT: Wait a minute, Bobby, you don’t understand
\nB: I just want to ask you this. When I’m dead, will you ever forget me?
\nT: What a stupid question that is
\nB: No, will you forget me?
\nT: I’m never ever going to forget my little pal. How will I ever forget you.
\nB: You’ll never forget me?
\nT: Never
\nB: Them are nice words them Tommy
\nT: I mean them
\nB: Thanks a lot Tommy
\nT: OK
\nB: Go ahead on your own Tommy. You’ll never forget me?
\nT: Never
\nB: Thanks a lot Tommy
\nT: OK
\nB: Ta-ra
\nT: I don’t know what’s happened there fellas. Sorry about that Julian.
\nKnock at door
\nT: Who’s that
\nB: You forgot me already
\nT: Bobby please, come here, I’ve got this idea
\nB: I’m upset Tommy really
\nT: No need to be upset. I’ve had a word with Julian, about the next song. It’s a disco song and you can come on it with me.
\nB: Honest Tommy, how do you know?
\nT: Look, he’s nodding
\nB: He’s fell off to sleep
\nT: No, he’s nodding in agreement, we can do a disco together.
\nB: Me and you, disco, together. Come on Tommy, let’s do it<\/p>\n

<\/a>Rock On Tommy<\/h2>\nhttps:\/\/comedykings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/RockOnTommy-RockOnTommy.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Oh, rock on Tommy
\nI was out on my own
\nLiving alone
\nWhen I needed someone to brighten my life
\nSomebody with style
\nTo make me good for a while
\nAnd then you came along<\/p>\n

Well you looked so good that I can’t believe it’s true
\nNow I’m feeling fine cause I’m so in love…
\n(Rock on Tommy)
\n…with you<\/p>\n

B: Get down and get with it. How am I doing Tommy
\nT: Fine
\nB: Will I make a disco singer
\nT: You’ll make one
\nB: That’ll do for me<\/p>\n

Don’t ever go
\nI want you so
\nYour love is all that I need
\nWhy don’t you stay
\nJust one more day
\nI’ll show you the way that I feel<\/p>\n

Sighs in background<\/p>\n

B: Rock on Tommy, who’s the bird<\/p>\n

Sigh…<\/p>\n

B: They’re doing it again tommy
\nT: Ignore it
\nB: I know but she’s breathing on me
\nT: Just forget it<\/p>\n

Sigh…<\/p>\n

B: Sighs
\nT: Oh stop it, Bobby, please
\nB: I like it<\/p>\n

Sighs in background<\/p>\n

I wait till the night
\nI turn on the light
\nBut no-one was there to brighten my life
\nLiving for one
\nWas never much fun
\nUntil you came along<\/p>\n

Well you looked so good that I can’t believe it’s true
\nNow I’m feeling fine cause I’m so in love…
\n(Rock on Tommy)
\n…with you<\/p>\n

B: Boogaloo, Boogaloo
\nB: Boogaloo, Boogaloo
\nT: Shut up now Bobby
\nB: Boogaloo, Boogaloo
\nB: Do you think that bird fancies me, Tommy
\nT: Why not, you might have a chance
\nB: I’ll go and ask her<\/p>\n

B: How was that, Tommy
\nT: You were marvellous, marvellous. You can do the next song with me.
\nB: What do you mean?
\nT: It’s about you and me
\nB: Is it?
\nT: Yes, listen to this<\/p>\n

<\/a>Me And My Shadow<\/h2>\nhttps:\/\/comedykings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/RockOnTommy-MeAndMyShadow.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
\nLike the seashore clings to the sea
\nLike you’ll never get rid of your shadow
\nTommy, you’ll never never get rid of me<\/p>\n

Let all the others fight and fuss
\nWhatever happens, we’ve got us.<\/p>\n

Me and my shadow….
\nWe’re closer than pages that stick in a book
\nWe’re closer than ripples that play in a brook
\nStrolling down the avenue….
\nWherever you find him, you’ll find me, just look
\nCloser than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza
\nMe and my shadow….
\nWe’re closer than fog when it clings to UK
\nWe’re closer than others, whatever they say<\/p>\n

Not a soul can bust this team in two
\nWe stick together like glue<\/p>\n

And when it’s sleeping time
\nThat’s when we rise
\nWe start to swing
\nSwing to the skies
\nOur clocks don’t chime
\nWhat a surprise
\nThey ring-a-ding-ding!
\nBoth Happy new year!<\/p>\n

Me and my shadow ….
\nAnd now to repeat what I said at the start
\nThey’ll need a large crowbar to break us apart
\nWe’re alone but far from blue<\/p>\n

Before we are finished, we’ll make the place roar
\nWe’ll play all the late spots, and then a few more
\nWe’ll wind up together right after the show
\nLife is gonna be we-wow-whee!
\nFor my shadow and me!<\/p>\n

B: That were great that, Tommy can we do it again<\/p>\n

Before we are finished, to mention a few
\nWe’ll call in the Angel, the little club too
\nWe’ll wind up laughing, whatever we do
\nLife is gonna be we-wow-whee!
\nFor my shadow and me!<\/p>\n
