The Way Old Farts Do
(with apologies to Abba’s ‘The Way Old Friends Do’)
You and I can share the shortbread
Taking Hob-Nobs together
The way old Farts do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old Farts do
Tights of Joy and pants of Trevor
We will always rinse them through
Oh I don’t care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old Farts do
You and I can share the Fizzbombs
Writing postcards together
The way old Farts do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do
Tights of Joy and pants of Trevor
We will always get them dry
Oh I don’t care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old Farts do
We can face it together
The way old Farts do

TRAGUS: a small pointed eminence of the external ear, situated in front of the concha and projecting backward over the meatus. It also is the name of hair growing at the entrance of the ear. Its name comes the Ancient Greet tragos (τράγος), meaning ‘goat’, and is descriptive of its general covering on its under surface with a tuft of hair, resembling a goat’s beard. The nearby antitragus projects forwards and upwards.
