The Who – Tattoo

The Who – Tattoo Lyrics

Artist: The Who
Song: Tattoo

★ 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
★ Pre-Chorus ★
Welcome to my life, tattoo
I’m a man now, thanks to you

★ Chorus ★
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
★ Pre-Chorus ★
Welcome to my life, tattoo

We’ve a long time together, me and you
★ Chorus ★
I expect I’ll regret you
But the skin graft man won’t get you

You’ll be there when I die
Tattoo
★ Post-Chorus ★
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

★ Outro ★
Radio London reminds you
Go to the church of your choice
Play “Tattoo”
