Madness - The Young & The Old lyrics

rate me

Whoa oh

Staggering home everybody sings

All the old songs the cockney routines

All the old womenall 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 drinkshitch 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 shortforget about work

Have a couple more then you go beserk

Who cares about this morningwise 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 roundforget 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
