Lyrics

Old fashioned she might be
Dated like last year's pop song
Aging like this year's calendar
It's a wonder she can still raise a smile
But in spite of her pension
Governments and a pension did she care?
Her local vicar serves her pie in the sky
While her MP talks about the policy for European entry
In jargon she does not understand
She's not interested
She makes do, she says she's happy
Talking of her late husband
Who looks down from the mantlepiece
She says she's happy
Says she's happy
Says she's happy
Oh, she says she's happy
She likes her television
Crossroads, Coronation Street and Robin Day's Bow Tie
She likes the quiz shows where people win a lot of money
That makes sense to her
She likes to listen to the radio
Music, Clifford T
She says he's nice, he's flattering
Birth, marriage, death
She needs the local newspaper
Derek writes what she likes to read
But they're knocking down her house now to build some more
Knocking down her house now to build some more
She can read about it on the front page
Or buy the same plot with new bricks for ten thousand pounds
Central heating, separate dining room
Detached garage, all modern conveniences
