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:
