Everybody's afraid of the big guy called the gorilla
Wish you could be here today now I'm lying in the gutter
Though the cop car surrounds me I feel afraid
Now I'm lying here staring at the pearly gates
Tony, Tony you gave me security
You were a minder extraordinaire
And I miss you now that you're not there
Terrified and in a fret
Like a child who's lost his mother
Shivering in a cold, cold sweat
With my face in the gutter
Bobby, Bobby you gave me security
And Tony, Tony you did the same for me
Now you're both sadly demised
I can't believe I'm still alive
Bobby came out of Chicago
To give me a helping hand
He sat me down when I acted so sloppy
And he did the same for my whole band
Tony came out of South London
He was a cockney boy
He saved my ass back in '82
When I acted such a silly boy
Come on man, don't be a fool
Come on man, you're gonna crawl
One day you're gonna fall
Everybody's afraid of the big guy called the gorilla
But he was never heavy, out of hand
In fact he was as gentle as a lamb
Tony, Tony you gave me security
You know Tony, Tony you gave me security
Minder extraordinaire
I miss you now that you're not there
Yeah I miss you now that you're not there
No you're never alone
As long as the big guy's there
