Coward Of The County Alvin & The Chipmunks

[Alvin]:
Everyone considered him the coward of the county
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
His mama named him Tommy
But folks just called him Yellow
But something always told me
They were reading Tommy wrong

He was only ten years old
When his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy

[Theodore]:
What'd he say?

[Alvin]:
"Son, my life is over
But yours is just begun"

[Alvin & Male Singers]:
"Promise me, son
Not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can

It won't mean you're weak
If you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
