Back in 1934
|
He came banginĄŻ on the backstage door
|
AskinĄŻ for my hard earned pay
|
Then he drank it all away you know
|
ThatĄŻs the way it goes
|
It was come what may
|
|
Off we all went to the war
|
They stole five years, and so much more you know
|
I was a stranger to my wife
|
This is the story of my life you know
|
Slow slow quick quick slow
|
Then we were on our way
|
|
I looked through my window and the slate was gray
|
Over the rooftops and far away
|
I had a secret I had a plan
|
One day IĄŻll be a family man
|
|
And on that Butlins holiday
|
I heard a calling seems like yesterday
|
We sailed off to that distant shore
|
40 years and maybe more you know
|
On and on we go
|
Then it all fades away
|
|
Out through my window and into the gray
|
Over the rooftops and far away
|
This was my secret this was my plan
|
Now IĄŻm remembered as a family man
|
|
Out through my window and into the gray
|
Over the rooftops and far away
|
I had a secret I had a plan
|
One day IĄŻd be a family man
