Did you ever spend a shiver While looking at a freezing river?Have you froze to the bone With just a coat to keep you warm?To keep you from the island wind?To keep you from the island wind?Now listenHave you perished in the drizzling rain?Tried to lie to live for all the rain?With your sock on your head And that old coat on your backTo keep you from the drizzling rain?To keep you from the drizzling rain?GoodbyeDid you sleep in a graveyard when it snowed?Did you wait on an R.I.P.?With the times on your face And that old coat on your backThat kept you from withering away?Good God, it just kept you from withering awayI knowI need you right or left on a steam trainHave the misfortune not to pay you fair?Shown off the next stop, thrown in the doorWe have a shot with that coat to keep you from the windOh, that old school coat to keep you from the windAnd that ain't allHave you had some good friends on the road with you?Who stand by you through thick and thin?Here's to Kevin and Ben, Susie and LenAnd that coat which never let you downIt never, never, never let you downIt never, never, never let you downThat old coat which never let you downThat old coat which never let you downKept me from the drizzling rainOh, kept me from the drizzling rain
