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 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
 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
 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...
