Written especially for my friend Bob Gaffney on this celebration of his seventieth birthday! 13 June 2014 Steve Bell - A TNC Production Number! Seventy Years Have Passed Sung to the tune "Seventy-Six Trombones" Chorus Seventy years have passed like a big parade A hundred and ten now seems close at hand Your body has aches and pains, And you may not have your brain You need pills of every kind and brand Seventy years have passed and you now are old A hundred and ten times you wished it wasn't so Twenty five thousand days Now you're living in a daze You have moles of every shape and size Bridge You've had copper pals and fireman as friends you say Wondering, blundering, All along the way Stevie Bell and Davie Oops as buddie boys All your buddie boys, celebrate this day You've had Uncle Milty, Marilyn and family Jenny two and her shoes, prouder than before With all your friends surrounding you, we sing this song Seventy years, but who's keeping score Chorus Seventy years are gone, like a blinking eye A hundred and ten times youth has passed you by So you drive a big black hearse Standing tall is now your curse But we say, you're still our type of guy Seventy shouts of joy and we all will sing A hundred and ten thoughts with a happy ring There is one problem though As we all have come to know It's too bad - that you can't - hear a thing! |
