Fairly In The Money Now

Tommy always said he'd make it one day
Lead singer in a top show band
So with some friends made up tunes to play
Tommy Tate and the Torpedoes began

Soon they were the rave of all the high school hops
And satin suits all dressed to kill
Soon tommy's boy's became top of the pops
But then the money came over the hill
But then the money came over the hill

All the cash to spend on their girlfriends
Howard Hughes is missed a turn there
And then their interests
Are manager's requests
They all bought their ranches

Hype-notised by every part that arrived
Higher prices for indifferent songs
But never the less Tommy's into success
So his Torpedoes kept plodding on
And his Torpedoes kept plodding on
