Does anyone remember
Not so long ago
Keys were always seen
Hanging on front doors
When children went to play
We knew they were always safe
Respect was shown by everyone
No backchat was condoned
Teachers were addressed as sir
Kids looked in awe at them
The top table they supervised
With their all seen eyes
Studied and you got along
Woe to those who tried it on
Out came the dreaded cane
Three whacks across the hand
All sitting down to dinner
Use be a family get together
A crackling radio at the side
No such thing as a TV guide
One toy you got for Christmas
Be thankful for what you got
Off to mass on Christmas morn
To see baby Jesus in his cot
Does anyone remember
Although things were tuff
Life was so much better then
Now its a lot more worse
