From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar,
|
When the dawn begins to crack.
|
It's all part of my autumn almanac.
|
Breeze blows leaves of a musty-coloured yellow,
|
So I sweep them in my sack.
|
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.
|
|
Friday evenings, people get together,
|
Hiding from the weather.
|
Tea and toasted, buttered currant buns
|
Can't compensate for lack of sun,
|
Because the summer's all gone.
|
|
La-la-la-la...
|
Oh, my poor rheumatic back
|
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.
|
La-la-la-la...
|
Oh, my autumn almanac
|
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.
|
|
I like my football on a Saturday,
|
Roast beef on Sundays, all right.
|
I go to Blackpool for my holidays,
|
Sit in the open sunlight.
|
|
This is my street, and I'm never gonna to leave it,
|
And I'm always gonna to stay here
|
If I live to be ninety-nine,
|
'Cause all the people I meet
|
Seem to come from my street
|
And I can't get away,
|
Because it's calling me, (come on home)
|
Hear it calling me, (come on home)
|
|
La-la-la-la...
|
Oh, my autumn Armagnac
|
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.
|
La-la-la-la...
|
Oh, my autumn almanac
|
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
|
|
Bop-bop-bopm-bop-bop, whoa!
|
Bop-bop-bopm-bop-bop, whoa!
