My Friend The Chocolate Cake – The Pramsitters lyrics

Everywhere in this corny town
The old men and the babies they're all placed in their prams
And wheeled slowly out into the sunshine
It shines down through the green backyard
They get rolled there everyday
I guess its something we must do

Underneath the old rust bent clothes line
With modern underpants
Pyjamas and a sock dancing round
The old man and the baby just smile
They're thinking everything's so fine
Until the baby starts to cry
And spoils the whole afternoon

The old man he recalls
The days when he was a bit of a lad
He fancied the neddies, he talked to the girls
And his body was a marvel, his mind it was slick
But not now, but not now anymore

Everyday he stares down at the child
He's hoping for a little gem of wisdom maybe a joke he's not heard
But the baby just prattles away
He can't stand it anymore
The bloody kid's an insufferable bore
Yes he is

The old man he recalls
The days when he was a bit of a lad
He fancied the neddies, he talked to the girls
And his body was a marvel, his mind it was slick
But not now, but not now anymore
