Dear Lord
Little Tommy Tucker used to sing for his supper
Because he never had no mommy to take care of him each day
Found a way of living, blamed each day his dad was poncy
Thought their love could save him from the perils of the world
Chorus:
Save me, save me, Lord, I love you, won't you save me please
Save me, save me, Lord, I love you, won't you save me please
Once one day young Tommy met his love, her name was Mary
Said she and her mommy had some money he could have
Took him to her bedroom and proceeded to initiate
Mommy came and early called young Tommy jack the lad
Save me, save me, Lord, I love you, won't you save me please
Save me, save me, Lord, I love you, I'm on bended knees
Please rescue me, dear Lord, and keep me safe
Find the way, dear Lord, for me to make money
Finally young Tommy found a way of being happy
Married Jill who had a son with fine voice like his dad
Earned some cash to keep them safe, the Lord made Tommy famous
Now he sings for everyone, gets paid like all the rest
chorus repeats 3x
