Grace

Grace is old, Grace is feeble
Grace is tired and Grace is senile
Grace can't manage stairs, Grace can't manage living
Grace gets nothing out of life and Grace don't give no giving - oh no

Grace prays daily, Jesus listens
As he fattens up his lions with faint hearted Christians
Grace she weeps, Jesus smiles, Grace is asking why
Jesus says "More lion food when I decide you'll die" - oh no

And in an upper crust world of riches
The rich make up the dough
And Grace lives at 37A Stalebread Road
Yes wherever there's poverty Grace is sorry
But she will always be there
Living in a state off the state
We all know Grace's fate
She will never make it through the night - oh no

Grace hates parties, Grace hates living
But Grace likes snooker with Alex Higgins
Songs Of Praise on Sunday, she sings along with Harry
After her niece comes to visit just to save herself a worry - oh no

Grace is old, Grace is feeble
Grace is tired and Grace is senile
Grace can't manage stairs, Grace can't manage living
Grace gets nothing out of life and Grace don't give no giving - oh no

And in an upper crust world of riches
The rich make up the dough
And Grace lives at 37A Stalebread Road
Yes wherever there's poverty Grace is sorry
But she will always be there
Living in a state off the state
We all know Grace's fate
She will never make it through the night - oh no
