| All aboard the family coach
|
| It’s leaving Greenbank Road
|
| Christmas 1981
|
| Christmas when it snowed
|
| Whilst on board the family coach
|
| They were circlin' the moon
|
| No one had been there before
|
| They were landing there in June
|
| Hey, hey, family coach
|
| My family coach
|
| You’ve got to make the most
|
| The most of your family coach
|
| Meanwhile on the family coach
|
| The postillion quietly spoke
|
| He said, «You can not leave your family coach
|
| This is not a joke
|
| We must work out our differences
|
| Though none of us may change
|
| We all take different routes through life
|
| But your coach will stay the same.»
|
| Hey, hey, family coach
|
| My family coach
|
| You’ve got to make the most
|
| The most of your family coach
|
| Hey, hey, family coach
|
| My family coach
|
| You’ve got to make the most
|
| The most of your family coach
|
| Back onboard Apollo 8
|
| They had gone behind
|
| And the human family held its breath
|
| And wondered what they’d find
|
| Our family coach can stay on earth
|
| Or be a rocket ship
|
| But wherever, wherever you may go Your kin will share the trip
|
| Hey, hey, family coach
|
| My family coach
|
| You’ve got to make the most
|
| The most of your family coach
|
| Now it might well appear to you
|
| That they were simpler days
|
| And the family coach is smaller now
|
| Some have passed away
|
| But there’s never been a golden age
|
| Nostalgia’s for the lame
|
| The best is yet to come, my dear
|
| It’s that kind of game
|
| Hey, hey, family coach
|
| My family coach
|
| You’ve got to make the most
|
| The most of your family coach
|
| Hey, hey, family coach
|
| My family coach
|
| You’ve got to make the most
|
| The most of your family coach |
