lyrics

COOKING FOR ONE
by Andrew Male & Tim Fatchen

Things would have been different back then,
Some earlier goodbye
A service, some words,
then music
A chance to wear that tie

But if where we go from here is better
Perhaps good things have to wait
It’s said all good things
come to an end
Or do they all just show up late?

Chorus:

Dear, it’s only life
Six dozen trips around the sun
I still have a wife on paper
But I’ve learned to cook for one

We have the lady with her guitar on Tuesday,
So we sit in the dining room and clap
We clap in time
What was the time?
Time for pills and all that crap

There’s bingo Thursday after lunch
Your numbers up on a map
Then I leave you in the Home
So I go home
Stand and disappear, just like my lap

Chorus:

Dear, it’s only life
Six dozen trips around the sun
I still have a wife on paper,
But I’ve learned to cook for one

It’s only life
Six dozen trips around the sun
I still have a wife on paper,
But I’ve learned,
I’ve learned to cook for one

Where is Wallaroo? Nothing to see here, move along... ... more
