Everybody's afraid of the big guy called the gorilla Wish you could be here today now I'm lying in the gutter Though the cop car surrounds me I feel afraid Now I'm lying here staring at the pearly gates Tony, Tony you gave me security You were a minder extraordinaire And I miss you now that you're not there Terrified and in a fret Like a child who's lost his mother Shivering in a cold, cold sweat With my face in the gutter Bobby, Bobby you gave me security And Tony, Tony you did the same for me Now you're both sadly demised I can't believe I'm still alive Bobby came out of Chicago To give me a helping hand He sat me down when I acted so sloppy And he did the same for my whole band Tony came out of South London He was a cockney boy He saved my ass back in '82 When I acted such a silly boy Come on man, don't be a fool Come on man, you're gonna crawl One day you're gonna fall Everybody's afraid of the big guy called the gorilla But he was never heavy, out of hand In fact he was as gentle as a lamb Tony, Tony you gave me security You know Tony, Tony you gave me security Minder extraordinaire I miss you now that you're not there Yeah I miss you now that you're not there No you're never alone As long as the big guy's there
