The Lyrics
The 'Big Yin': legendary Scottish comedian, Billy Connolly (on turning 60: "never trust a fart")
Don't (Big Yin)
...trust passing wind
(Advice on growin' old)
A thermal tee
Tucked in to briefs
Heating on full, I'm cold
Walk in a room
Forgotten why
What will become of me?
From 'fell over'
To 'had a fall'
Shell of a man once, me
& the rain fell down
When I played in goal
But I could not catch
A cold
& I realise
If it's meant to be
Pair o' specs so I
Can read
& I move so slowly
Never felt oh, so old
& the grandkids ask me
How can you be so old?
& you watch "Gone Fishing"
Never gave a ...before
& the grandkids ask me
How can you be so old?
So don't disturb me
From my sleep
Snoring, the old codger
Wing-back chair while
I watch TV
Artful Coffin Dodger
& the rain fell down
When I played in goal
But I could not catch
A cold
& I realise
If it's meant to be
Pair o' specs so I
Can read (oh)
& I move so slowly
Never felt oh, so old
& the grandkids ask me
How can you be so old?
& you watch "Gone Fishing"
Never gave a ...before
& the grandkids ask me
How can you be so, how can you be so old?
& the rain fell down
When I played in goal
But I could not catch
A cold
& I realise
If it's meant to be
Pair o' specs so I
Can read
& I move so slowly
Never felt oh, so old
& the grandkids ask me
How can you be so old?
& you watch "Gone Fishing"
Never gave a ...before
& the grandkids ask me
How can you be so old?
(How can you be ...so old?)
(& my grandkids keep askin' ...askin')
(How can you be so old?)
...trust passing wind
(Advice on growin' old)

(14.1.24) Van S A'Parody ...(Disclaimer: it's a comedy name only - my wife & I'd like to state, there's no offence/confusion intended ...that I'm NOT one of "them"!) ...From 2018-2022, the UK music buying public made a parody 'artist' their Xmas #1 (5, consecutively - a record, surpassing the Beatles). Often, a new artist can announce their arrival with a particularly good cover, made uniquely their own. I'm no singer nor musician, so if you can perform this (or any of mine), please send me a version & lots of royalties!

I've accidentally coined a new nickname for myself writing this...The Artful Coffin Dodger!
