"The Who Medley" lyrics

[Substitute:]

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east and the east was facing south
But I'm a substitute for another guy
Look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you say are all complicated
Look pretty young but I'm just backdated, yeah

(Substitute) Me for him
(Substitute) My coke for gin
(Substitute) You for my mum
(Substitute) At least I'll get my washing done

[Daddy Rollin' Stone:]

Girl, you think you had a-lovin'
Girl, you think you had fun
Girl, you never seen nothin'
'Til I-I-I-I give you
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah...

Yeah, I'm a daddy, I'm a daddy
Daddy rolling stone (Daddy rolling stone)

[Happy Jack:]

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
He lived on the sands of the Isle of Man

The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried, tried, tried
They dropped things on his back
They tried, tried, tried, tried, tried

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping (Ooh, lap lap lap lap lap lap lap lap)
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy (La-la-la)

[Pictures Of Lily:]

Pictures of Lily
Lily oh Lily
Lily oh Lily!
Pictures of Lily

[My Generation:]

People try to put us down (Talkin' bout my generation)
Just because we don't get around (Talkin' bout my generation)
The things they do look awful c-c-c-cold (Talkin' bout my generation)
Hope I die before I get old (Talkin' bout my generation)

Talkin' bout my generation (My generation)
Talkin' bout my generation (My generation, oh)
Talkin' bout my generation (Oh)

[I'm A Boy:]

Wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the street
Cut myself and see my blood
I wanna come home all covered in mud

I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy

[I Can't Explain:]

Ooh-ooh, can't explain
I'm feeling good t'night, yeah (Can't explain)
Ooh-ooh, can't explain
