Tattoo (Acoustic / Live In Kingston|Explicit) - The Who

Lyrics by：Pete Townshend

Composed by：Pete Townshend

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

Our old man didn't like our appearance

He said that only women wear long hair

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

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

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

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

Now I'm older I'm tattooed all over

My wife is tattooed too

A rooty-toot-toot rooty-tooty-toot-toot

Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too

To you
