My horse came in by half a nose I
bought my missus a yellow rose
We had a good feed at the blubbity dub
We tore off home and had a good cup
And we carried on like newlyweds
We carried on like lily -weds
Well, she ever met him was an ape,
but hadn't been so long since we did
That didn't mean we had it in us anymore
I had a spring and she had a smile,
It had been quite a while,
the fire was burning all along
The fire was burning all along
All the birds would chitter -chat and
grinnin' like a cheshire cat
We were acting half our age, true
I think our friends and neighbours knew
Hard to hide the glory of it all
So I'm down at the track every
I twenty bucks on a horse each way
Hoping for another day like that
When the horse came in by half a nose
And I bought the missus yellow rose
I suppose I'll get lucky again, I suppose
Met all the birds with chitter -chat
We were acting half our age, it's true
Do I think our friends and neighbours knew,
I know the glory of it all.
I'll get lucky again, I suppose.
