The Who & Jesse Levy Follow

Outside the house, Mr. Simpson announces
Sally can't go to the meeting.
He goes on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce
And she runs inside-a-weeping.
She gets to her room and cries on a picture,
Always keeps it by her.
She picks up a book of her father's life
And throws 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."

Tommy's gonna beat his best tonight;
I just have to see him play.
I feel so bad; I'm sorry Dad.
Gonna sneak out anyway.
I've spent all day doin' up my hair;
I've gotta look exactly right.
Maybe he'll see that I can be free
And I'll get backstage tonight.

She knew right then 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 lands at six and the gig is a rocking;
The devil is out tonight.
The band cuts loose and the stage is a knocking
She grabs her chair- she's hot to dance
Right down their in the very first row.
Then a slick DJ who is pissing his pants
Runs on and says:

Here we go...

The crowd goes crazy
As Tommy hits the stage!
Little Sally is lost
As the police boss
The crowd back in a rage! Woooo!

A flash of fire - the whole place stops.
Tommy is a tranquilizer,
But Sally's so hot- she risks a shot
And jumps up on the riser.

She's up there now - she's hit the top.
She brushes his handsome face.
Tommy whirls around as a uniformed man
Ushers her from 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"

Be...
What you'll be,
What you'll be,
What you'll be,
What you'll be,
What you'll be,

I've had enough. I think I'm gonna go home now. Suss everything out. I'm going home. But ...you can all come if you like. Yeah. You've all got your families, right? Come and be a part of mine for a bit. See what it's been like for me.
