All aboard the family coach
|
It's leaving Greenbank Road
|
Christmas 1981
|
Christmas when it snowed
|
Whilst on board the family coach
|
They were circlin' the moon
|
No one had been there before
|
They were landing there in June
|
|
Hey, hey, family coach
|
My family coach
|
You've got to make the most
|
The most of your family coach
|
|
Meanwhile on the family coach
|
The postillion quietly spoke
|
He said, "You can not leave your family coach
|
This is not a joke
|
We must work out our differences
|
Though none of us may change
|
We all take different routes through life
|
But your coach will stay the same."
|
|
Hey, hey, family coach
|
My family coach
|
You've got to make the most
|
The most of your family coach
|
|
Hey, hey, family coach
|
My family coach
|
You've got to make the most
|
The most of your family coach
|
|
Back onboard Apollo 8
|
They had gone behind
|
And the human family held its breath
|
And wondered what they'd find
|
Our family coach can stay on earth
|
Or be a rocket ship
|
But wherever, wherever you may go
|
Your kin will share the trip
|
|
Hey, hey, family coach
|
My family coach
|
You've got to make the most
|
The most of your family coach
|
|
Now it might well appear to you
|
That they were simpler days
|
And the family coach is smaller now
|
Some have passed away
|
But there's never been a golden age
|
Nostalgia's for the lame
|
The best is yet to come, my dear
|
It's that kind of game
|
|
Hey, hey, family coach
|
My family coach
|
You've got to make the most
|
The most of your family coach
|
|
Hey, hey, family coach
|
My family coach
|
You've got to make the most
|
The most of your family coach
|
