Cowboys playing,
young men slaying,
old men praying,
the world will change
schoolgirls dating,
daughters mating,
mothers waiting to rearrange
Trainee worker,
factory shirker,
social nurturer, won't let you down
Jam and bluster,
ballroom cluster,
fella duster,
your vintage crown
Tinker, tater,
soldier,
sailor, rich or poor, landsmiling
Some
may wish to change their dish,
but it's a way of life
Tinker, tater,
soldier, sailor, rich or poor, landsmiling
Some may wish to change their dish,
but it's a way
of life
So be thankful for what you're given,
and be good to your wife and babe
You look after the hard of living,
and don't forget you're a long time deal
When you're born it's a great big welcome,
when you go it's a sacrifice
Always a bit in between your future,
it's up to you if you laugh or cry
Cowboys playing,
young men slaying,
old men praying,
the world will change
Schoolgirls dating,
daughters mating,
mothers
waiting
to rearrange
It's just a way of life
Just a way of life
