Little Tom - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]

Little Tom what will be your fate[00:00:04]

Little Tom will you be someone great[00:00:13]

Do you know right from wrong[00:00:21]

Are they teaching you at home[00:00:25]

Or have they turn you loose to roam Little Tom[00:00:29]

I walked into a cafe and[00:00:39]

Ordered myself something to eat[00:00:41]

When a little boy walked in[00:00:43]

With his shoes half off his feet[00:00:45]

He said Buy a paper Mister [00:00:48]

I said How old are you son [00:00:50]

Seven sir when my papers are sold[00:00:53]

I'll be on my way home[00:00:56]

What your name [00:00:58]

Thomas but everybody calls me Little Tom[00:00:59]

They named me after my daddy[00:01:03]

But they say I look like my mama[00:01:05]

I said Why it's almost midnight son[00:01:09]

You should be home asleep[00:01:10]

I know it but I wanna get me a bicycle[00:01:13]

And I gotta help mama buy[00:01:16]

Somethin' to eat my daddy's pretty mean to us[00:01:17]

And he spends most of his[00:01:21]

Money for wine He don't hold a job like other men[00:01:22]

He gets fired all time[00:01:28]

I said Have somethin' to eat[00:01:30]

Aren't you hungry son [00:01:32]

He said I guess a little bit[00:01:34]

I believe I'll have a hamburger and a glass[00:01:36]

Of milk to go with it[00:01:38]

I said Is there enough [00:01:41]

He said Make it two[00:01:43]

Cause I ain't eat since noon[00:01:45]

I said Where you live son On Main Street sir[00:01:47]

There's six of us livin' in one room[00:01:51]

There's me and my three brothers[00:01:54]

And my ma and my dad[00:01:55]

But someday I'm gonna buy me a big house[00:01:57]

If I don't turn out bad[00:02:01]

My appetite left me as[00:02:03]

I sat there watching him[00:02:05]

And I thought he's just one of thousands[00:02:06]

That's brought up in a home of sin[00:02:10]

When the parents neglect the children[00:02:12]

And forget to make the all menkind[00:02:15]

And then wondered why there's juvenile delinquency[00:02:18]

When they are at fault most of the time[00:02:21]

I bit my lip and fought back tears[00:02:24]

As I watched the little guy leave the cafe[00:02:26]

And I wondered how many more children[00:02:28]

Would be brought up that way[00:02:31]

Little Tom what will be your fate[00:02:34]
