Tommy Shea
Tommy Shea
Now Tommy Shea was just 22 years old
Sketchy lanky blonde brave and bold
He walked the strip of Newbury Street in Boston
He never noticed me cause I was a kid and only 10 now
He used to skank it up like I never ever saw
That Tommy kid yeah he really had really fucking had it all
Black boots flak jacket shaved head and all
That kid was a wrecking shop
Yeah he was a fucking wall
Remember when Tommy used to say
Oi Oi
Remember when Tommy used to scream
Oi Oi
I throw my Pac-Man shirt on (I throw my Pac-Man shirt on)
My cordoroys and my velcro on my feet
Because I never knew what was going on (what's going on)
Until I found Boston's own Middle East
Because upstairs downstairs I didn't give a care
I was happy just hearing all the ska blare
A funny thing a thing that made me just so fat so
In 82 I guess it's worth it to take a look back
Remember when Tommy used to say
Oi Oi
Remember when Tommy used to scream
Oi Oi
[Chorus:]
Tommy kicked ass in 82
He kicked ass in 82
Tommy kicked ass in 82
That's right he kicked ass in 82
Hey Tommy where did you go
I wanna find you to let you know
This sketchy song is just for you
I'm not kidding I really wanna find you
Hey Tommy where did you go
I wanna find you to let you know
This sketchy song is just for you
I'm not kidding I used to wanna be like you
Remember when Tommy used to say
Oi Oi
Remember when Tommy used to scream
Oi Oi
[Chorus]
Tommy kicking ass I said in 82 well all right now
I said he kicked ass in 82 that's right
I said he kicked ass in 82 come on
I said he kicked ass in eighty-ty eighty-ty two
