The Young And The Old Lyrics by Madness

The Young And The Old Lyrics

    Whoa oh

    Staggering home everybody sings
    All the old songs the cockney routines
    All the old women, all the young men
    Try changing places then back again

    Old man in the morning,
    Young man at night
    Breakfast full of wisdom
    Until you hit the lights

    Knock back the drinks , hitch up your skirt
    Fall over backwords undo your shirt
    Everyone shouting what a terrible state
    Age creeping backwards as it gets late

    Old man in the morning,
    Young man at night
    Breakfast full of wisdom
    Until you hit the lights

    Have a quick short, forget about work
    Have a couple more then you go beserk
    Who cares about this morning, wise old man
    The wisdom comes up later and goes down the pan

    Old man in the morning,
    Young man at night
    Breakfast full of wisdom
    Until you hit the lights

    Then another round, forget whos turn
    Waking up to feel your stomach churn
    Whos in the chair and whos on the floor
    Incoherants knocking on the door

    Old man in the morning,
    Young man at night
    Breakfast full of wisdom
    Until you hit the lights
    Hit the lights
