Here comes Tommy and he`s late again
Whose that`s leaving with his new girlfriend
I`d bet he`s only met her and he doesn`t even know her name
My cousin Miney says it`s just for now
He`s not taking any marriage vows
So why don`t we have a good time any place any how

From what I see there`s still a little hope
That`s if we don`t hang from too much rope

Oh Dear
I`d like a boy from the housing estate
High on hope and dreaming all this game
Know's he`s on his own got to get out `fore it gets too late
He`s looking good the best I`ve seen for days
He`s tellin` people how he`s changed his way
He`s given up drinkin` and he`s down to three smokes a day

From what I see there`s still a little hope
That`s if we don`t hang from too much rope
From what I see there`s still a little hope
That`s if we don`t hang from too much rope

Hey Tommy how ya feeling up there
You`re looking good with the corc-screw hair
And in you`re best kaki to your suit
Tellin` everybody all `bout the crocodile boots
Told `em you can`t loose

A social mover always in the right places
Got all the contacts knows the latest faces
Got the flavour of it now it`s walkin in other taste

But every night he gets the urge to go West
And now it`s party he`s a V.I.P guest
He loves the life he leads and he leads the life he loves best

From what I see there`s still a little hope
That`s if we don`t hang from too much rope

From what I see there`s still a little hope
That`s if we don`t hang from too much rope

From what I see there`s still a little hope
That`s if we don`t hang from too much rope
