The Who - Tattoo (Live At Leeds) lyrics

[Verse 1: Roger Daltry] Me and my brother were talking to each other 'Bout what makes a man a man Was it brain, or brawn, or the month you were born? We just couldn't understand [Chorus 1: Pete Townshend] Our old man didn't like our appearance He said that "Only women wear long hair" [Verse 2: Roger Daltry] 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 [Chorus 2: Roger Daltry, Pete Townshend] 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'll be there when I die Tattoo [Verse 3: Roger Daltry] 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 [Chorus 2] [Verse 4: Roger Daltry] Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over My wife is tattooed, too A-rooty-toot-toot, a-rooty-tooty-toot-toot Rooty-toot-toot tattoo, too To you [Crowd cheering]
