Tommy, you know, he had one deaf ear
Back from his minesweeping days
You never could tell just what he could and could not hear
And he intended to keep it that way
He joined the Navy just like his Daddy done
When he was of the rightful age
He took off right quick like many a kid did
When his parents took hard to the drink
And now it's coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
Any time's a good time, so go unlock your daughters
With his motorcycle friends, they're going off again
From the Black Sea all the way to Britain,
All the way to Britain
She was a dame of New Jersey fame
Lived her life like it was a bourre game
And if there were sides being taken
You better believe you wanna be on the side she was on
She went to the city for secretary school
Ended up working for the CIA
She had a short hand that didn't suffer no fools
She intended to keep it that way
And she drank coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
Any old time she could have any horse she wanted
And if you gonna ride then you ride it like you stole it
From a steeple chase
She drank coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
Boys tried to give chase, but no one ever caught her
'Til she found her love, and Sheila didn't let Tommy
Sleep for days
Their first meeting was hardly a word
But he built her a harpsichord
And he found her unconscious just inside the door
And carried her to help
Now every now and again
She pretends to faint on the harpsichord bench
And he picks her up again and carries her
Up to their bed
And they drink coffee like its fine wine, wine like it's water
Any time's a good time, cause now they have a daughter
And she rides so fast, they said they gonna name her
Farley
They drink coffee like its fine wine, wine like it's water
Don't ask what kind, it's just the kind our parents brought us
From the Black Sea shore and the girl next door
Who could ride
They drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
Any time's a good time cause now they have a daughter
And she rides so fast, they said they gonna name her
Farley
And they drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
Don't ask what kind, it's just the kind our parents brought us
From the Black Sea shore and the girl next door
Who could ride...
