Janie Mac I'm Nearly Forty |
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 |
