Old fashioned she might be |
|
Dated like last year's pop-song |
|
Ageing like this year's calendar |

Her local vicar serves her "pie in the sky" |
|
While her |

M. P. 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. |
