Tattoo Lyrics

Tattoo lyrics

(Townshend)   Me and my brother were talking to each other  'Bout what makes a
man a man  Was it brain or brawn, the month you were born  We just couldn't
understand   Our old man didn't like our appearance  He said that only women
wear long hair   So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother  We knew what
we had to do  We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium  And got our
arms tattooed   Welcome to my life, tattoo  I'm a man now, thanks to you  I
expect I'll regret you  But the skin graft man won't get you  You'l be there
when I die  Tattoo   My dad beat me 'cause mine said "Mother"  But my mother
naturally liked it and beat my brother  'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the
nude  And my mother thought that was extremely rude   Welcome to my life,
tattoo  We've a long time together, me and you  I expect I'll regret you  But
the skin graft man won't get you  You'l be there when I die  Tattoo   Now I'm
older, I'm tattooed all over  My wife is tattooed too  A rooty-doot-toot,
rooty-tooty-tooty-toot  Rooty-toodle-toodle tattoo too  To you
