Firecracker

See her clicking her fingers in time to the beat
Pulling faces as she twirls and shouts
Stylish in red, vodka greasing the rails
She’s laughing, firecracking girl

She’ll make you smile
In a little while
You’ll be so fond
Then it takes so long
To get used to it
When she’s gone

Fearless she will give you a piece of her mind
Whether it may please you or confound
I recall when she would chauffer me round town
In her blue beetle she terrorised

I miss those days
But i have to say
There’s no other way
To deal with time
How it comes, how it goes
No one knows

Light blue tape
Stand well back
Mouths agape
Firecracker

She’ll make you smile
In a little while
You’ll be so fond
Then it takes so long
To get used to it
When she’s gone
