T'was early Friday mornin' as I cycled into town The front wheel it was wobblin' and the mud guard fallin' down The two legs of me trousers were held up with bits of twine And a pension book kept telling me a pint would soon be mine How are you Mr. Murphy, said the postal clerk to me Not too bad, says I, for a man of 73 The fox came to me house last night and stole me only duck "Buy a lottery ticket", she says, "It might change your luck." Well I took the little girls’ advice and I gave to her a pound Outside I scratched me ticket with the penknife I had found Well I nearly dropped me trousers and I grew a head of hair When I realized I was a bloody millionaire No more hay or turf to save, no more feedin' calves One kick from me big boot and the bike was in two halves I headed for the local, sure I was feeling great And friends I never knew I had came in to celebrate Not long after that I had a new suit on me back A new red car outside the door with a telephone on the rack Me wife was wearing a blonde wig where her gray head used to be And the Wellington tracks had disappeared from just below her knee I sat there admiring the new dress that she wore A lovely set of teeth she had installed the day before I held her oh so tightly like when I was a groom And we looked rich and graceful as we waltzed around the room Well then I got an awful shock, I thought I’d nearly die I spied my ugly missus as I opened up one eye With rollers in her old gray head she nearly made me sick "Get up and milk the cows", she says, "you ravin’ lunatic." It was then I realized that it was all a dream The cow was lowing in the field and the cat was at the cream Our bike was thrown in the hedge, me trousers had a shine ah but twas lovely while it lasted, that winnin’ dream of mine
