Lyrics

One time
Hoo, ooh
Yeah, hoo
Hoo, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, ooh
It was a warm and sunny day
The trees that gently sway
The news report, the skirts are shut
Sir Cliff took another summer holiday
My uncle staggering
His clothes, they smell of gin
Every girl him see, he curtsies
What a lovable rogue is he
And I never got the chance to play
I never had the chance to say
And every day, I kneeled and prayed
Our Father and Hail Marys
My uncle chased the mass away
A hero for another day
I can't believe he's gone away
He's gone away and left me
And every other day is just another day
With nose pushed up against the window
Watching the children play
Singing lullabies just to while the time away
Listen to the children, hey
Mr. OT, bigging up thyself
Mr. OT now
You lived a life so full, that's why we say
Mr. OT, bigging up thyself
Mr. OT now
It was another sunny day
The wise and foolish sage
The liquor shop, the gambling spot
He's flicking through the racing page
He's on his hands and knees
And searching for his keys
He's going home, but not alone
Aunty Mone is not gonna be pleased
And I never had the chance to play
I never got the chance to say
And every day, I kneeled and prayed
Confession and blasphemies
My uncle chased the mass away
A hero for another day
I can't believe he passed away
Whilst on a beach under a tree
And every other day is just another day
With nose pushed up against the window
Watching the children play
Singing lullabies just to while the time away
Listen to the children, hey
Mr. OT, bigging up thyself
Mr. OT now
You lived a life so full, that's why we say
Mr. OT, bigging up thyself
Mr. OT now
You lived your life so full
Mr. OT, bigging up thyself
Mr. OT now
You lived a life so full
Mr. OT, bigging up thyself
Mr. OT now
You lived your life so full, we say
Mr. OT, bigging up thyself
Mr. OT now
You lived your life so full
Ooh, yeah, hoo
Ooh, ooh
