[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:
