[Intro]

[Verse]
A
He used to wear Trespass and shop at the Aldi
D
Now he’s the joker in the clubhouse at Caldy
A
His hair was receding; his face had descended
D
Now he’s been up to Rodney Street and had it all mended
A
He used to walk home with a chop suey roll
D
Now he’s in Sheldrake’s devouring his soul
A
His mate’s got a six-berth in Kinmel Bay
D
And for the last week in August that’s where he’d stay
A
But now it’s a fortnight in tropical climes
D
Raising of lager and here’s to the times
A
But a worried demeanour as I went through his turnstile
D
Was clarified later when I heard the announcement:
