Lyrics:

FINGS AINT WOT THEY USED TBE

Hoi!! do me a favour

They changed our local Palais into a bowling alley
and fings aint what they used t be

Theres Teds wiv drainpipe trousers
and Debs in coffee houses
and fings aint what they used t be
There used to be Trams not very quick
Gotcha from place to place
But now theres just jams alf a mile fick
Stay in the human race... Im walking

They stuck parking meters outside our doors to greet us
Now Fings aint what they used t be

Corr! monkeys... flying round the moon
Well be up there with em soon
Fings aint what they used t be

Once our beer was frothy
but now its frothy coffee... well
Fings aint what they used tbe
It used to be fun Dad an old Mum
paddling down Southend
But now it aint done
Never mind chum
Paris is where we spend our outins
Grandma tries to shock us all
Doing knees up rock n roll
Fings aint wot they used t be

Transcribed By Kevin Moore

We used to have stars
Singers who sung a Dixie melody
Theyre buying guitars... plinkty plonk
Backing their selves wiv th(f)ree chords only
Once wed dance from 12 to 3
Ive got news for Elvis P
Fings aint what they used taaa
Theres a lot we used taaa
Fings aint what they used taa beeeee
