[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.
