Tommy
Unlocking Tommy's World: A Door-to-Door Adventure of Dreams and Knives
Lyrics
(Oh, hey Tommy)
Greeting to someone named Tommy
My name's Tommy and I got some knives that can cut through freakin' iron
Tommy claims to have powerful knives
I sell those door to door, I'd like for you to buy them
Tommy sells these knives door to door
You got wine on the floor? I don't give a damn, I got vacuum cleaners too
Tommy is not concerned about spilled wine; also sells vacuum cleaners
They'll clean your floors and feed your cat, and I also sell perfume
Highlights additional products – floor cleaners, cat food, and perfume
Don't say a word, I can read your mind, you want to know just how to get in
Tommy claims to read minds, sensing the listener's interest
I said, don't worry cousin, I can hook your ass up with a house car and good looking friends
Tommy promises to provide a house, car, and attractive friends
You'll be out of momma's basement in just one month if you sell these door to door
Suggests that selling these products can help the listener move out of their mom's basement quickly
You might be thinking it's too good to be true but, oh brother, wait, there's more
Assures there is more to the offer, despite potential skepticism
The suits up top didn't want you to know, but you seem like a real cool guy
Mentions a hidden truth about the business; compliments the listener
If you sign up nine friends in the next eight minutes you get an extra piece of the pie
If the listener recruits nine friends quickly, they get additional benefits
I said, and it's no secret, Lord, the word gets out to the house in every town
Emphasizes that the information spreads to every house in town
They wait there naked with a glass of wine for the salesman to come around
Depicts potential customers waiting eagerly for salesmen, possibly with suggestive imagery
Go ahead Johnny why don't you grab that pen and just sign on the dotted line
Encourages Johnny to sign a contract or agreement
I'd get me a mean dog and some pills and a gun because this job gets sticky sometimes
Suggests the challenging nature of the job with references to a mean dog, pills, and a gun
And when you got all that sweet liquid cash, Johnny, you don't know what to do I've got just the thing or you
Once successful, advises Johnny on how to handle the money, hinting at offering a solution
I got that beach front property in Panama City where you can drink all day and do whatever the hell you do
Tommy offers a beachfront property in Panama City as a desirable reward for success
