You'd be amazed to have lived so long,
We would be thankful that you were still here,
Your smiling face bringing so much cheer,
Those twinkling eyes full of mischief and fun
Telling us how much you loved our mum,
Putting things in perspective and riding the storm
Winking at anyone looking forlorn,
A smile, a wave,a cheeky grin
Your great big heart invites everyone in.
Tartan trousers, yellow braces, a dicky bow tie.
Look on the bright side, never tell a lie,
Don't cross swords with anyone you meet.-
In the office, at home or in the street,
Keep wise counsel. You've got a lot to learn
Never buy anything you didn't earn,
Speak nicely, speak kindly, wake up with a smile,
Good manners and kindness never go out of style.
You can't put old heads on young shoulders of course
Never raise your voice so you become hoarse
Protect me from my friends because my enemies I see
They're the ones who don't like me
But it's YOUR heart that matters and the love that's within
You don't go to Heaven for another person's sin
Cool, calm and collected is excellent advice
But really it's enough to just be nice,
Be discerning, be discrete,
don't tell everything to everyone you meet,
Clean your shoes and clean your car
Bring joy and sunshine wherever you are,
An old Eastern custom at the table is good,
Quiet conversation and tasty food,
A car's a lethal weapon you know,
Be like me, drive nice and slow.
Simmer down and lighten up,
study hard and don't give up,
A meal ticket is what you need,
it's the best way to be free
To enjoy life and help each other
Remember always look after your brother,
Live a long happy life is the nicest wish
But whatever you do with all of this -
live each day
Take it in your stride
and always make sure
You live your life WIDE
