[Verse]
Well, I've been sing most my lifetime,
Of Rockall, strong men and Botany Bay,
Singing songs of love and hope and freedom,
While time had slowly slipped away, away, away.

Have you noticed the policemen getting younger?
And the bus men, they're getting younger too,
While all my friends are getting older,
You stayed the same, you know it's true.

[Chorus]
Janey Mac, I'm nearly forty,
I think my hair is turning grey,
I'll be on the pension very shortly,
And how I long for yesterday.

[Verse]
We're so long together, it's a record,
We should be in the Guinness book of fame,
For over fifty years we've been together,
And just for spite, we'll do the same again.

The silver threads in Tommy's whiskers,
Derek with the beard, he's got away, where? Who? What?
Though he's getting kind of grumpy,
While I am just not getting old.

[Chorus]
Janey Mac, I'm nearly forty,
I think my hair is turning grey,
I'll be on the pension very shortly,
And how I long for yesterday.

[Verse]
So, for all the knockers and begrudgers,
You will admit we have that touch of class,
If not we'd send you our new record,
And you can stick it up your, jumper!

[Chorus]
Janey Mac, I'm nearly forty,
I think my hair is turning grey,
I'll be on the pension very shortly,
And how I long for yesterday.

[Chorus]
Janey Mac, I'm nearly forty,
I think my hair is turning grey,
I'll be on the pension very shortly,
And how I long for yesterday.
