At school they gave us warmish milk, now it's five alive
Our sweets were bagged up by the ounce, bon bons and sugar mice
Instead of playing Mario, we simply rolled a dice
We wore our siblings hand-me-downs and bathed just once a week
Now if you wear the wrong thing, you are regarded as a freak
We dowsed ourselves in smells of Brut, as Henry Cooper said
And ate lots of carbohydrates and we revelled in white bread!
We went to town on Saturdays, watched a movie for the crack
But instead of paying entry, we just sneaked in round the back
Now you need a TV with surround sound booming out
And fifty million DVD's with speakers all about!
Why can't we be contented with the simple things in life
Be happy with our fortune and not covet thy neighbours wife!
