When mothers had patience and Fathers had jobs,
When football team families wore hand me down shoes,
And TV gave only two channels to choose,
Back in the days of three penny bits,
When schools employed nurses to search for your nits,
When snowballs were harmless and ice slides permitted and all of your jumpers were warm and hand knitted,
Back in the days of hot ginger beers,
when children remained so for more than six years,
When children respected what older folk said and pot was a thing you kept under your bed,
Back in the days of listen with mother when neighbours were friendly and talked to each other.
When cars were so rare you played in the street, when doctors made house calls and police walked the streets,
Back in the days of Milligans Goons,
when butter was butter and songs all had tunes.
It was dumplings for dinner and trifle for tea, and your annual break was a day by the sea.
Back in the days of Dixons Dock Green, crackerjack pens and Lyons ice cream.
When children could freely wear national Health glasses and teachers all stood in front of their classes.
Back in the days of rocking and reeling, when mobiles were things that you hung on the ceiling.
When woodwork and pottery got taught in schools and everyone dreamed of a win on the pools.
Back in the days when I was a lad,
I can't but smile for the fun that we had.
Hopscotch and roller skates and snowballs to lob back in the days of tanners and bobs.
d
The oldest rocker in town!
