Wake up, Tommie, I think I got som'in' to say to you.
It's early October and we really should be shootin' pool.
I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used.
Oh, Tommie, I couldn't have tried any more.
You led me away from home just to save you from bein, alone.
You stole my dough and that's what really hurt.

The mornin' sun when it's in your face really shows your age.
But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're still the rage.
I laughed at all of your jokes, my money you didn't need to coax,
Oh, Tommie, I couldn't have tried any more.
You led me away from home just to save you from bein, alone.
You stole my dough and that's a pain I can do without.

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand,
But you turned into a golfer and
Brother, what a golfer! You wore me out.
All you did was wake the dead,
And in the morning kick me in the head.

You led me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone.
You stole my dough I couldn't beat you if I tried.

Short instrumental break

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school.
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a livin' out o' playin' pool.
Or find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helpin' hand.
Oh, Tommie, I wish I'd never seen your face.
You made a first-class fool out of me.
But I'm as blind as a fool can be.
You stole my dough but I love you anyway.

Instrumental break

Tommie! I wish I'd never made that bet.
I'll get it all back I'm sure and that's all set.
Oooo-whooo-hooo.
