Tommy took a walk one day
Found himself on west third and Broadway
Took a cab to midtown, Times Square
Met a girl he knows called Tessa there
‽Tess†, he said, ‽I don't understand
How they grow tomatoes in a canâ€Â
(Yeah)
‽Tessâ€Â, he said, ‽Now wait a while
My teeth don't glitter when I smileâ€Â
(Yeah)
Well, she had problems with his personal hygiene
And the coffee he drinks is full of caffeine
She said, ‽Tommy take a bath for me
You stink, I'll scrub you till you're squeakly cleanâ€Â
‽Tess†, he said, ‽I don't understand
How they grow tomatoes in a canâ€Â
(Yeah)
‽Tessâ€Â, he said, ‽Now wait a while
My teeth don't glitter when I smileâ€Â
(Yeah)
