lyrics

The Old Adelaide by Alison Ferrier

The old man smiles knowingly
The giggly girls sparkle with youth
They're making eyes at the haircut boys
Huddled in the corner booth

The landlord is quietly arguing
With the drunk over whiskey and water
And the band starting up in the corner
Makes you think of your son and daughter

Oh you've got it made
Down at The Old Adelaide

There's an empty bottle on the table
Her cheeks are flushed from the wine
Now your kids have their own and are far away
There are worse things to do with your time

Now the opening door brings in friends from the cold
You return with more drinks from the bar
And you think to yourself your wife's the most beautiful
Woman in the room by far

Oh you've got it made
Down at The Old Adelaide

Though it's pouring down outside and you could do with warmer weather
And the guy down at the hardware store could have helped you a little better
You're aching in your joints and you don't feel quite like you used to
You're golden years are hard working years taking orders from a boy half the age of you

But oh you've got it made
Down at The Old Adelaide
