Life's demanding enough
without understanding that stuff
it demands of you.

Give me a 'lonesome pine'
and something to rhyme
with.

In those olden days when we
were younger and hungered for
the future,
who knew then that we'd get fed up
with it?

With a Beano or a Dandy and an
American cream soda to hand we
were living the dream,
only we didn't know it.
