Underture (Entr'acte)

1993 Broadway
The Who's Tommy the Musical - Underture (Entr'acte) Lyrics


1960: In the arcade,
against a backdrop of brillantly colored pinball images,
Tommy is playing at a pinball machine,
surrounded by the youths. Tommy at 20,
is a neighborhood celebrity
and the adored official mascot of this particular local gang.
His playing builds to a fever pitch;
a buzzer sounds as he beats the machine.
The lads scream in victory...

LOCAL LADS:
Right!!!!!

...and carry Tommy over their heads down the street,
with Cousin Kevin leading the way.

LOCAL LADS:
Oy! Oy! Oy! Oy! Oy! Oy!:
