Lyrics
The way he looks at you sideways
The T-shirt's white and what's that writing on the wall?
He's always welcome here in my place
If he rings the bell I'll let him in the hall
Tom is everybody's friend
Tom is everybody's friend
Tom is everybody's friend
Round here
He likes to read and he likes music
He's fond of dancing and finding food that's new
He's into sport and he loves culture
In fact he's just like me and even more like you
Tom is everybody's friend
Tom is everybody's friend
Tom is everybody's friend
Round here
Tom is everybody's friend
Tom is everybody's friend
Tom is everybody's friend
Round here
You know that you're invading my space
You know that I'm invading yours
'cause we're the space invaders baby
It's better that than waging wars
