Absent Friends |
| Absent friends, here’s to them |
| And happy days, we thought that they would never end |
| Here’s to absent friends |
| Little Jean Seberg seemed |
| So full of life, but in those eyes such troubled dreams |
| Poor little Jean |
| Woodbine Willie couldn’t rest until he’d |
| Given every bloke a final smoke before the killing |
| Old Woodbine Willie |
| Steve McQueen jumped the first one clean |
| But the great escape he’d tried to make was not to be |
| Maybe next time Steve |
| Laika flew through inky blue |
| 'Til Laika neared the atmosphere and Laika knew |
| Laika’s life was through |
| Oscar Wilde was a lonely child |
| He fought and won acceptance from the world |
| They smiled, they laughed, they praised |
| They drove poor Oscar to his grave |
| Absent friends, here’s to them |
| And happy days, we thought that they would never end |
| But they always end |
| Raise your glasses then to absent friends |
