Your rating:
Spoken: Tommy: My brother, my brother and myself have banded together In an organization, an organization called the siblings. A small crawling animal, the point is, my brother and myself are starting... Dick: What Tommy is trying to say is we are planning on trying to change our Type of music and change the direction in which we want to sing We want to sing more to the teenagers, teenage love songs, Passionate songs, because teenagers need to understand they are in A very difficult time of life And there's a lot of people who sing just for teenagers And they are very very successful Tommy: The Beatles are they... Dick: They are as successful as you can get Tommy: And they have Beatle wigs Dick: Right Tommy: And if you and I ever get that popular we couldn't have Smothers' wigs Dick: No we could Tommy: Because of our hairline, so we are going to have plastic ears Dick: Tommy why don't you tell them the song we would like to try and Launch this new career with. Tommy: Our new career will be launched with a song, a teenage song, A teenage song capturing the extremes of the emotional spectrum of excitement. First, the song has the unhappiness and the tragedy, and the end of the world feeling Which a teenage love, or a young person's love when it goes wrong, it has it's Unhappiness which knows no bounds and knows no depths of sorrow and pain. On the other extreme, we have elation, happiness, the teenage love is never a middle Of the road thing, but the extremes, this song featuring my brother and myself will Feature his lyric voice, the compassion he has gained... Dick: Through bitter experience Tommy: Through bitter experience, my brother will sing now the tragic yet beautiful story of The lovely teen angel. Dick: No, that's not the name of the song Tommy: The lovely teen angel, Jenny Brown. Passionate form, vivacious eyes sparkling alive. ... Screwed up... Nobody's perfect. Singing: As I was walking by the shore, I happened there to see, A woman's form a-lyin' there, As still as still could be. The dress she wore was gingham blue, Her hair all tumbled down; It might have been my own true love, My sweetheart Jenny Brown. Her face was turned into the sand Was who, I couldn't tell But on her hand was a high school ring A ring I knew too well My heart stood still, I grasped her arm And then I turned her round Alas it was my own true love My sweetheart Jenny Brown Spoken: Oh Jenny... Brown Why did I treat you cru-el Gosh wizz Jenny, there was tears in your eyes And you ran away from me and now here I find you On the beach all still and sandy And flies and stuff Singing: I stared into her loving face A face that used to clown I saw one eye a-flicker Then wink and open round Ha ha she laughed, then jumped up tall "I'll bet you thought I'd drowned." What a rotten sense of humor, Has my sweetheart Jenny Brown.
