the young and the old

whoa oh

staggering home everybody sings

all the old songs the cockney routines

all the old women all the young men

try changing places then back again

old man in the morning

young man at night

breakfast full of wisdom

until you hit the lights

knock back the drinks hitch up your skirt

fall over backwards undo your shirt

everyone shouting what a terrible state

age creeping backwards as it gets late

old man in the morning

young man at night

breakfast full of wisdom

until you hit the lights

have a quick short forget about work

have a couple more then you go berserk

who cares about this morning wise old man

the wisdom comes up later and goes down the pan

old man in the morning

young man at night

breakfast full of wisdom

until you hit the lights

then another round

forget who's turn

waking up to feel your stomach churn

who's in the chair and who's on the floor

incoherants knocking on the door

old man in the morning

young man at night

breakfast full of wisdom

until you hit the lights

hit the lights
