Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced That Sally couldn't go to the meeting He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce And she ran inside weeping She got to her room, and tears splashed the picture Of the new Messiah She picked up the book of her father's life And threw it on the fire [Chorus] She knew from the start Deep down in her heart That she and Tommy were worlds apart But her mother said, "Never mind, your part Is to be what you'll be." The theme of the sermon was 'Come unto me, Love will find a way', So Sally decided to ignore her dad And sneak out anyway She spent all afternoon getting ready And decided she'd try to touch him Maybe he'd see that she was free And talk to her this Sunday [Chorus] She arrived at six, and the place was swinging To gospel music by nine Group after group appeared on the stage And Sally just sat there crying She bit her nails, looking pretty as a picture Right in the very front row And then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge Ran on and said, "Here we go!" The crowd went crazy As Tommy hit the stage Little Sally got lost as the police bossed The crowd back in a rage
