Tattoo

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Me and my brother were talking to each other About what makes a man a man Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born? We just couldn't understand [Bridge] Our old man didn't like our appearance He said that only women wear long hair [Verse 2] 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] 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] My dad beat me because 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] 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'll be there when I die Tattoo [Verse 4] Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over My wife is tattooed, too A-rooty-doot-toot, rooty-tooty-toot-toot Rooty-tootle-tootle tattoo, too [Outro] To you [Jingle] Radio London reminds you Go to the church of your choice
