Little tommy was a bright young boy, like the rest of us

But little tommy's going to be just like his daddy when he grows up

Daddy's sick sometimes, little tommy didn't know what heroin was

Little tommy's turning out just like daddy, he likes to play too much

[Chorus]

Goodbye to the sunshine

Goodbye to the air

Play time is over when you have no soul left to spare

Goodbye to the sunshine

Goodbye to the air

Play time is over when you have no soul left to spare

Now little tommy's not quite so little, and likes to act real tough

He gets into fights with his daddy over cigarette butts

Tommy's got a girlfriend now, he hits her out of love

Little tommy's turning out just like his daddy, he likes to play too rough

[Chorus]

Little tommy got his GED when he turned 21

Then 6 months later his veins were stuck

Who would have guessed little tommy and his daddy would have liked the same drugs

But that was a decade ago now play turns up...
