Tom in Hengelo

Intro

Hey-hey, Tom! (woo!)

Boing-boing, whoa-oh, come on!

(Go, go) Tom, Tom, Tom—yeah!

Verse

In Hengelo town where the bike bells ring,

Tom and Stef and Mom and Dad do their thing.

Kees on the couch, Ted on the bed (mew, mew),

Two sneaky cats chasing socks in red.

Finished primary school, backpack packed tight,

First year secondary, new locker light.

Homework waiting on the kitchen chair,

But first there's footwork, wind in his hair.

He sprints on the pitch, boots hit the ground,

Fc Twente colors, cheering all around.

Plays for the amateur club, shirt tucked in neat,

Runs like a rocket with speedy feet.

Active kid, athletic frame, full of spark,

Pretty boy grin, lighting up the dark.

Pre-chorus

Bright soccer socks—whoa!—flashin' like neon-free (ha!),

Sharp suit, perfect hair, smelling like mystery.

A little vain, a wink, a strut (uh-huh),

Maybe a spritz of men's fragrance to catch a glance—got it!

Chorus

Tom in Hengelo, look at him go, yeah (go, go),

Tom in Hengelo, bright socks steal the show, hey (show, show).

Goals on the field, homework tonight (do it, do it),

Mario power-up, family lights so bright (yeah, yeah).

Tom in Hengelo, Tom in Hengelo,

Tom in Hengelo—come on, sing it!

Verse

When the game's over he plugs in the console,

Super Mario jump, coins and a rollicking goal.

He loves a good laugh from South Park TV,

But not the mean stuff—no Cartman, please!

Kind like Mario—helpful hands, big heart,

Saving the day, from the start.

Growing up costs cash—socks, boots, hair gel,

Money for style, he knows it well.

Tonight's the evening with paper and bows,

Presents, giggles, the warm fire glows.

A useful gift tucked under the tree,

Something that helps him be who he'll be.

Wishes whispered, wishes sung (wish, wish),

All the family laughing, everyone young.

Bridge

Boing! Wah! (he-hey) Jump up, spin around,

Skrrt-skrrt—ad-libs, little victory sound.

(La-la, la-la) clap, clap, stomp the floor,

Tom's got style and he wants more.

Chorus

Tom in Hengelo, look at him go, yeah (go, go),

Tom in Hengelo, bright socks steal the show, hey (show, show).

Goals on the field, homework tonight (do it, do it),

Mario power-up, family lights so bright (yeah, yeah).

Tom in Hengelo, Tom in Hengelo,

Tom in Hengelo—come on, sing it!

Chorus

Tom in Hengelo, look at him go, yeah (go, go),

Tom in Hengelo, bright socks steal the show, hey (show, show).

Goals on the field, homework tonight (do it, do it),

Mario power-up, family lights so bright (yeah, yeah).

Tom in Hengelo, Tom in Hengelo,

Tom in Hengelo—come on, sing it!

Outro

An evening of presents, fun and laughter (ha!),

Wishes fulfilled now and after.

Thanks and best wishes from Sinterklaas (ho!)

And Smudge Pete says, "Keep that hair—class!"

(He-hey) Tom—shine on!
