Fairly In The Money Now - The Undertones

Tommy always said he would make it one day

Lead singer in a top show band

So with some friends made up tunes to play

Tommy Tate and the Torpedoes began

Soon they were the rave of all the high school hops

And satin suits all dressed to kill

Soon Tommy's boys became top of the pops

But then the money came over the hill

But then the money came over the hill

All the cash to spend on their girlfriends

Howard Hughes is missed a turn there

And in their interest

Are manager's requests

They all bought the ranches

All the cash to spend on their girlfriends

Howard Hughes is missed a turn there

And in their interest

Are manager's requests

They all bought the ranches

Hypnotized by every part that arrived

Higher prices for indifferent songs

But never the less big Tommy's into success

So his Torpedoes kept plodding on

And his Torpedoes kept plodding on
