J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Have you seen the old man In the closed-down market Kicking up the paper, with his worn out shoes? In his eyes you see no pride And held loosely at his side Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news So how can you tell me you're lonely, And say for you that the sun don't shine? Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London I'll show you something to make you change your mind Have you seen the old girl Who walks the streets of London Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags? She's no time for talking, She just keeps right on walking Carrying her home in two carrier bags. Chorus In the all night cafe At a quarter past eleven, Same old man is sitting there on his own Looking at the world Over the rim of his tea-cup, Each tea last an hour Then he wanders home alone Chorus And have you seen the old man Outside the seaman's mission Memory fading with The medal ribbons that he wears. In our winter city, The rain cries a little pity For one more forgotten hero And a world that doesn't care Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 and this total classic... Come to town the other night Heard the noise and saw the fight Watchman was a-runnin' 'round Said "Old Dan Tucker's come to town." So, git out the way for Old Dan Tucker He's too late to get his supper Supper is over and breakfast's cookin' Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin' Old Dan Tucker come to town Ridin' a billygoat, leadin' a hound Hound, he barked and the billygoat jumped Throwed old Dan, he straddled a stump. So, git out the way for Old Dan Tucker He's too late to get his supper Supper is over and breakfast's cookin' Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin' Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man Washed his face in a frying pan Combed his hair with a wagon wheel And died with a toothache in his heel. So, git out the way for Old Dan Tucker He's too late to get his supper Supper is over and breakfast's cookin' Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin' and this .... junior school rockin' tune.... Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things When the dog bites When the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
