Hey, do me a favor!
They've changed our local palley
Into a bowling alley
And things ain't what they used to be
There's Teds with drainpipe trousers
And Debs in coffee houses
And things ain't what they used to be
There used to be trams, not very quick
Got you from place to place
But now there's just jams, half a mile thick
Stay in the human race, I'm walking
They've stuck parking meters
Outside our doors to greet us
Now things ain't what they used to be
ย
Gaw, monkeys flying 'round the moon
We'll be up there with 'em soon
Things ain't what they used to be
Once our beer was frothy
But now it's frothy coffee
Well, things ain't what they used to be
It used to be fun, Dad and old Mum
Playing Lynne and Down South End
But now it ain't done, never mind chum
Paris is where we spend our earnings
Grandma tries to shock us
All doing knees up croquignole
Things ain't what they used to be
We used to have stars, singers who sung
Had you seen Malaghi
They're flying guitars, blink and he's blonk
Bagging themselves with three chords only
Once we danced from twelve to three
I've got news for Elvis P
Things ain't what they used to
Hit the lot we used to
Things ain't what they used to be
