| Well, I’ve been sing most my lifetime
|
| Of Rockall, strong men an' Botany Bay
|
| Singing songs of love and hope and freedom
|
| While time had slowly slipped away
|
| Have you noticed the policemen getting younger?
|
| And the bus men, they’re getting younger too
|
| While all my friends are getting older
|
| I have stayed the same, you know it’s true
|
| And Janey Mac, I’m nearly forty
|
| I think my hair is turning grey
|
| I’ll be on the pension very shortly
|
| And how I long for yesterday
|
| We’re so long together, it’s a record
|
| We should be in the Guinness book of fame
|
| For twenty-five long years we’ve been together
|
| And just for spite, we’ll do the same again
|
| But there’s silver threads in Tommy’s whiskers
|
| And Derek with the beard, he’s getting bald
|
| While though he’s getting kind of grumpy
|
| While I am just not getting old
|
| And Janey Mac, I’m nearly forty
|
| I think my hair is turning grey
|
| I’ll be on the pension very shortly
|
| And how I long for yesterday
|
| So all you knockers and begrudgers
|
| You will admit we have that touch of class
|
| If not we’d send you our new record
|
| And you can stick it up your — jumper!
|
| And Janey Mac, I’m nearly forty
|
| I think my hair is turning grey
|
| I’ll be on the pension very shortly
|
| And how I long for yesterday |
