| Back in 1934 | |
| He came bangin’ on the backstage door | |
| Askin’ for my hard earned pay | |
| Then he drank it all away you know | |
| That’s the way it goes | |
| It was come what may | |
| Off we all went to the war | |
| They stole five years, and so much more you know | |
| I was a stranger to my wife | |
| This is the story of my life you know | |
| Slow slow quick quick slow | |
| Then we were on our way | |
| I looked through my window and the slate was gray | |
| Over the rooftops and far away | |
| I had a secret | |
| I had a plan | |
| One day I’ll be a family man | |
| And on that | |
| Butlins holiday | |
| I heard a calling seems like yesterday | |
| We sailed off to that distant shore 40 years and maybe more you know | |
| On and on we go | |
| Then it all fades away | |
| Out through my window and into the gray | |
| Over the rooftops and far away | |
| This was my secret this was my plan | |
| Now I’m remembered as a family man | |
| Out through my window and into the gray | |
| Over the rooftops and far away | |
| I had a secret | |
| I had a plan | |
| One day I’d be a family man |
