Mavis

Down at the R.S.L. club they call her Dancing Queen And she wheels around the dance floor as if she were nineteen With faster tunes or slow tunes she's never out of time And she's still more athletic than many in their prime. She's lived through many Seasons and her hair is silver gray And she's close to if not ninety 'I quote what others say' But ask her what age she might be the answer she avoid She say she is still young at heart and time still on her side. Her husband died in World War 2 and for years she's been alone And her three children now grandparents she raised them on her own But she doesn't talk of her hard past or for the war shed tears She dance a bit down at the club and enjoy a couple of beers. The 'Aussie Battler' Mavis is a credit to her race And you always find her in good mood a big smile on her face Down at the local R.S.L. they call her Dancing Queen And she wheels around the dance floor as if she were nineteen.
