| TOMMY TROUBLE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Folks say you should never meet trouble half way And there's sound common sense in that view But when you are blessed with a name that's like mine You meet trouble all the day through If the Sun shines I see trouble ahead In the shadow that's cast on the ground With trouble I go to my bed and I rise With trouble when morning comes round Chorus: I'm Tommy Trouble. Everyone calls me trouble If I lost a tanner you'd think by my manner I'd lost double. Everyone calls me trouble And the people all shout when they see me walk out Here comes trouble. I went to a boxing booth on Hampstead Heath And trouble of course went with me A man said he'd give me ten bob if I could Beat Ginger Joe from Battersea I wanted ten bob so I walked in the ring Put my hands up and said very brave When Ginger cried to me, 'In case I kill you What shall we put on the grave?' Chorus: I'm Tommy Trouble. Everyone calls me trouble If I lost a tanner you'd think by my manner I'd lost double. Everyone calls me trouble Then I cried with surprise as he closed both my eyes Here comes trouble. |
