Dear Lord

Little Tommy Tucker used to sing for himself

Because he never had no mommy to take care of him each day

Found a way of living, though each day it was as poisy

Thought the Lord could save him from the perils of the world

Chorus:

Save me, save me, Lord, I love you, won't you save me please

Save me, save me, Lord, I love you, won't you save me please

There's one day when Tommy met his love, her name was Mary

Said she and her mommy had some money he could have

Took him to her bedroom and proceeded to initiate

Mommy came and early caught young Tommy jack the love

Save me, save me, Lord, I love you, won't you save me please

Save me, save me, Lord, I love you, I'm on bended knees

Please rescue me, dear Lord, and plead me save

Find the way, dear Lord, for me to make money

Finally young Tommy found a way of being happy

Merry Jilly had a son with fine boys like his dad

Earned some cash to keep them save, the Lord made Tommy famous

Now he sings for everyone, gets paid like all the rest

chorus repeats 3x
