lyrics

TOM AND PHIL

Tom and Phil were dragons
who terrorized the West
Scaring poor old ladies
was what they did the best

They never ever hurt a soul
or did anyone wrong
Their only crime was killing time
and singing this great song

Tom and Phil! Tom and Phil!
never quit, never will
They Danced and Played
loved every day
Sought peace on earth as dragons will
Tom and Phil!

Dancing in the evenings
sleeping until noon
Loving under starlight
singing at the moon

Smiling at the children
but roaring "you're a liar!"
at all the hateful people
who threatened love with fire

One day the hateful bigots
who hated dragon's forms
Trapped them as they slumbered
and mocked their love with scorn

As the two were dying
for their forbidden love
Their spirits became melodies
that lit the stars above

Tom and Phil! Tom and Phil!
you never quit, you never will
You Danced and Played
loved every day
Sought peace on earth as dragons will
Tom and Phil!

Tom and Phil! Tom and Phil!
they never quit, they never will
They Danced and Played
loved every day
Sought peace on earth as dragons will
Tom and Phil!
