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
