Verse 
   A 
He used to wear Trespass and shop at the Aldi 
D 
Now he’s the joker in the clubhouse at Caldy 
    A 
His hair was receding; his face it descended 
         D 
Now he’s been up to Rodney Street and had it all mended 
   A 
He used to walk home with a chop suey roll 
D 
Now he’s in Sheldrake’s devouring his soul 
    A 
His mate’s got a six-berth in Kinmel Bay 
            D 
And for the last week in August that’s where he’d stay 
    A 
But now it’s a fortnight in tropical climes 
D 
Raising of a lager and here’s to the times 
        A 
But the worried demeanour as I went through his turnstile 
    D 
Was clarified later when I heard the announcement:
