Tommy K

Tommy Kavanagh lived next door to Sun Street Studio. Witty, fearless and full of life, he was a talented Gardner and story teller as well as being Tuam's first ever D.J.

Lets call out his name
Tommy k tommy k
Tommy k the d.j.
Tommy k tommy k

It's not today nor yesterday
The times were different then
The dancing was in dance halls
And it had to stop for lent
But one man kept it going
With his home –made twin-decks
Sound – the bishop didn't like the
Crack so the d.j. left the town

Give us the locomotion
Gimme dancing shoes
Give us the mashed potato
Give us the boogalloo
And give us the words between the
Songs to keep us on the floor
When tommy's playing the records
We'll be all night wanting more

He's brave and courageous
Upright and strong
He gives us inspiration
Helps us all to get along
He'll be climbing up the hit parade
Forever and a day
This songs in his memory
Immortal tommy k
