[00:10.04] Outside the house
[00:10.76] Mr. Simpson announced
[00:12.25] that Sally couldn't go to the meeting.
[00:14.98] He went on cleaning
[00:15.84] his blue Rolls Royce
[00:17.02] and she ran inside weeping.
[00:19.13]
[00:19.71] She got to her room
[00:20.80] and tears splashed the picture
[00:22.27] of the new Messiah.
[00:23.86]
[00:24.57] She picked up a book of her fathers life
[00:26.82] and threw it on the fire!
[00:28.86]
[00:30.83] She knew from the start
[00:31.87] Deep down in her heart
[00:33.07] That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
[00:36.02]
[00:38.60] But her Mother said never mind your part
[00:41.56] Is to be what you'll be.
[00:44.88]
[00:49.23] The theme of the sermon
[00:50.40] was come unto me,
[00:51.49] Love will find a way,
[00:53.29]
[00:53.84] So Sally decided to ignore her dad,
[00:56.17] and sneak out anyway!
[00:57.98]
[00:58.63] She spent all afternoon getting ready,
[01:01.07] and decided she'd try to touch him,
[01:03.79] Maybe he'd see that she was free
[01:05.86] and talk to her this Sunday.
[01:08.15]
[01:09.79] She knew from the start
[01:10.81] Deep down in her heart
[01:12.08] That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
[01:14.91]
[01:18.42] But her Mother said
[01:19.04] never mind your part
[01:20.70] Is to be what you'll be.
[01:23.98]
[01:28.02] She arrived at six
[01:29.02] and the place was swinging
[01:30.32] to gospel music by nine.
[01:32.24]
[01:33.23] Group after group appeared
[01:34.23] on the stage
[01:35.24] and Sally just sat there crying.
[01:37.07]
[01:37.99] She bit her nails looking
[01:39.14] pretty as a picture
[01:40.14] right in the very front row
[01:41.94]
[01:42.77] And then a DJ wearing a blazer
[01:44.38] with a badge
[01:45.25] ran on and said 'here we go!'
[01:47.20]
[01:49.02] The crowd went crazy
[01:51.21] As Tommy hit the stage!
[01:53.07]
[01:53.67] Little Sally got lost as the police bossed
[01:56.20] The crowd back in a rage!
[01:59.09]
[02:02.48] But soon the atmosphere was cooler
[02:04.69] as Tommy gave a lesson.
[02:07.53] Sally just had to let him know
[02:09.02] she loved him
[02:09.71] and leapt up on the rostrum!
[02:11.47]
[02:12.29] She ran cross stage to the spotlit figure
[02:14.69] and touched him on the face
[02:16.63]
[02:17.47] Tommy whirled around
[02:18.33] as a uniformed man,
[02:19.55] threw her of the stage.
[02:21.55]
[02:23.38] She knew from the start
[02:24.52] Deep down in her heart
[02:25.59] That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
[02:28.34]
[02:32.18] But her Mother said
[02:32.86] never mind your part
[02:34.32] Is to be what you'll be.
[02:37.29]
[02:42.01] Her cheek hit a chair
[02:42.94] and blood trickled down,
[02:44.29] mingling with her tears,
[02:46.74] Tommy carried on preaching
[02:48.35] and his voice filled Sally's ear
[02:51.22] She caught his eye she had to try
[02:53.78] but couldn't see through the lights
[02:56.16] Her face was gashed
[02:57.28] and the ambulance men
[02:58.55] had to carry her out that night.
[03:00.67]
[03:02.45] The crowd went crazy
[03:04.70] As Tommy left the stage!
[03:06.62]
[03:07.14] Little Sally was lost for
[03:08.59] the price of a touch
[03:09.78] And a gash across her face! Oooh.
[03:14.07]
[03:15.91] Sixteen stitches put her right
[03:17.49] and her Dad said
[03:18.37] 'don't say I didn't warn yer'.
[03:20.88] Sally got married to a rock musician
[03:22.99] she met in California
[03:24.89]
[03:29.63] Tommy always talks about the day
[03:31.74] the disciples all went wild!
[03:33.58]
[03:34.23] Sally still carries a scar on her cheek
[03:36.29] to remind her of his smile.
[03:38.25]
[03:42.73] She knew from the start
[03:43.80] Deep down in her heart
[03:44.98] That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
[03:47.94]
[03:51.27] But her Mother
[03:51.72] said never mind your part
[03:53.30] Is to be what you'll be.
