Madness
The Young and the Old

[Intro]
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh

[Verse 1]
Staggering home everybody sings (whoa-oh)
All the old songs, the cockney routines (whoa-oh)
All the old women, all the young men (whoa-oh)
Try changing places then back it again

[Chorus]
Old men in the morning
Young men at night
Breakfast full of wisdom
Until you hit the lights

[Verse 2]
Knock back the drinks, hitch up your skirt
Fall over backwards, undo your shirt
Everyone shouting "what a terrible state"
Age creeping backwards as it gets late

[Chorus]
Old men in the morning
Young men at night
Breakfast full of wisdom
Until you hit the lights
[Instrumental]
(B-b-b-b-b-b-b-buster!)
(Buster!)

[Verse 3]
Have a quick short, forget about work
Then a couple more and you go beserk
Who cares about this morning, wise old man
The wisdom comes up later and goes down the pan

[Chorus]
Old men in the morning
Young men at night
Breakfast full of wisdom
Until you hit the lights

[Verse 4]
Then another round, forget whose turn
Waking up to feel your stomach churn
Who's in the chair and who's on the floor?
Incoherance knocking on the door

[Chorus]
Old men in the morning
Young men at night
Breakfast full of wisdom
Until you hit the lights
Hit the Lights
