From the album "Tommy".
Written by Pete Townshend.

Gypsy:

If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl could put him right.
I'll show him what he could be now
Just give me one night.
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.
I'll tear your soul apart.

Give us a room, close the door
Leave us for a while.
Your boy won't be a boy no more
Young, but not a child.
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
The Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.
I'll tear your soul apart.

Gather your wits and hold on fast,
Your mind must learn to roam.
Just as the Gypsy Queen must do
You're gonna hit the road.

My work is done now look at him
He's never been more alive.
His head it shakes his fingers clutch.
Watch his body rise!
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.
To break your little heart.

If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl will put him right.
I'll show him what he could be now
Just give me one night.
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.
to break your little heart.

  • @nightintheruts617 the songs from the rock musical 'tommy'. and its performed by tina turner in the movie.but i do see where youre coming from.lol

  • I love this album and The Who, but hate how he has to call himself an acid queen(deff sounds a little queer) instead of just saying "shes the gypsy, the acid queen" idk

  • Damn, never noticed this til just now. Go to about 3:03 and listen close in the right channel at the foot of Pete's "..right". Hear the yell over the drum fill? Keith maybe?

  • The Lyrics on this album really unfortunately somehow describe America and it is too chilling disturbing ironic and disgusting accurate beautiful ! Not just FOR back in the 50's and 60's but NOW TOO ! Keith's drumming here on this one is really technical and brilliant !

  • Roger Daltrey or Pete Townsend? Who would you rather?

  • i saw petes younger bro play this in widsor with roger sickest show i have been too yet :)

  • @dudemanbearpig it obviously is trying to make some kind of point though i just cant figure it out!

  • @thegame3623 Neither, it's just part of the story.

  • awesome maybe the best onthe record  except overture captain walker
