Lyrics

They say that I'm too old
I guess I'm coming up for nine
Me curly hair is getting thin
It's all them women and wine
But I'm oh so ashamed
It's been three weeks since I had
A record in the top twenty pops
It hurts me when I think how
At eight I was top of the poll
They screamed every time I just opened me mouth
And rocked in the aisles with me roll
Now I'm oh so ashamed
They all say me discs are flops
'Cos I haven't got a record
In the top twenty pops
I've tried ooh-ahhs and I've giggled
I've rocked it and I've skiffled
I've sung an old song
And not no-one could make out a word
It's the truth
I've clapped me hands 'til the blood run
I've had Echo 'til me head spun
'Til me head spun
'Til me head spun
But they say, "You're too old
Too long in the tooth
Give us youth"
Shit
I've had me breakdown in the papers
Dyed me hair a luminous green
I wobble me hips in sexy-like capers
And me sideboards meet under me chin
But I'm oh so ashamed
It's been three weeks since I had
A record in the top twenty pops
I've held high notes real classy
'Til me eyes went all glassy
I've sung a duet with me self
Nearly ruptured me throat
I've tried humming and not drumming
I've broke ten guitars with me strumming
But it always turns out
Some Charlie has done it before
What's the matter with me platters?
They say I should try a new kick
But me nerves is hanging in tatters
I've done me nut 'til I'm fair off me wick
And I'm oh so ashamed
It's been three weeks since I had
A record in the top twenty pops
Me discs are slipping
I haven't got a record in the top twenty pops
Please buy this record
Please
