[00:00.353]T'was early Friday mornin' as I cycled into town
[00:05.290]The front wheel it was wobblin' and the mud guard fallin' down
[00:09.862]The two legs of me trousers were held up with bits of twine
[00:14.538]And a pension book kept telling me a pint would soon be mine
[00:19.422]How are you Mr. Murphy, said the postal clerk to me
[00:23.968]Not too bad, says I, for a man of 73
[00:28.461]The fox came to me house last night and stole me only duck
[00:33.293]"Buy a lottery ticket", she says, "It might change your luck."
[00:37.969]Well I took the little girls’ advice and I gave to her a pound
[00:42.698]Outside I scratched me ticket with the penknife I had found
[00:47.191]Well I nearly dropped me trousers and I grew a head of hair
[00:52.128]When I realized I was a bloody millionaire
[00:58.031]No more hay or turf to save, no more feedin' calves
[01:02.786]One kick from me big boot and the bike was in two halves
[01:07.357]I headed for the local, sure I was feeling great
[01:12.059]And friends I never knew I had came in to celebrate
[01:17.231]Not long after that I had a new suit on me back
[01:21.724]A new red car outside the door with a telephone on the rack
[01:26.427]Me wife was wearing a blonde wig where her gray head used to be
[01:31.129]And the Wellington tracks had disappeared from just below her knee
[01:37.868]I sat there admiring the new dress that she wore
[01:42.440]A lovely set of teeth she had installed the day before
[01:47.168]I held her oh so tightly like when I was a groom
[01:52.131]And we looked rich and graceful as we waltzed around the room
[01:57.068]Well then I got an awful shock, I thought I’d nearly die
[02:01.849]I spied my ugly missus as I opened up one eye
[02:06.681]With rollers in her old gray head she nearly made me sick
[02:11.383]"Get up and milk the cows", she says, "you ravin’ lunatic."
[02:16.869]It was then I realized that it was all a dream
[02:21.362]The cow was lowing in the field and the cat was at the cream
[02:26.064]Our bike was thrown in the hedge, me trousers had a shine
[02:30.740]ah but twas lovely while it lasted, that winnin’ dream of mine
