Tommy and Laura were lovers
(grunting, Hi there lumberjack)
He wanted to give her everything
(da ping, is it a strange piece of tropical fruit?)
Flowers
(wow, they're made of rubber)
Presents
(wow, a rubber dinghy in the shape of a woman, hmmm)
But most of all, a wedding ring
He saw a sign for a stock car race
(a stock car race)
Thousand dollars prize it read
(that's a lot of money Tommy. Certainly is)
So he gets Laura on the phone
(hey Laura, get her on the phone for me,
get on the phone, go on get on the phone)
So to her Mother Tommy said
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
There's something I must do that cannot wait
(bbrrruuummm)
He drove his car to the racing ground
(beep, beep, beep, beep)
He was the youngest driver there
(wow, you're a youngen)
The crowd roared as they started to race
Round the track they went, at a deadly pace
No-one knows what happened that day
(hey buddy, what happened? I don't know)
How his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled his body from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath they heard him say
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
There's something I must do and that is die
Now in the chapel where Laura prayed
(God, give me a Mars Bar)
For her Tommy who passes away
It was for her he lived and died
Alone in the chapel, she hears him cry
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
