Ricky

'Oh' Ricky what's your new year resolution It's been so long since you have worked for pay? Don't mention work to me today of all days I need some rest and peace on New Year's day. I'm forty five it's four years I remember Since factory I worked in closed their door 'Twas said they would re-open after six months But this closure 'twould seem forever more. I'll not be making new year resolutions For workers many and jobs far too few When I apply for work the bosses tell me We need a younger fitter man than you. And Ricky did you have a happy Christmas? On Christmas eve I was drunk going to bed And on Christmas morning I felt nauseated And had this fuzzy feeling in the head. But I did quite enjoy my Christmas dinner A cooked chicken I bought at the super store I finished off the chicken in one sitting And I felt so full could not have eaten more. And do you see a better future Ricky? I'm happy with my lot in life he said I do not even think about tomorrow For who would even know what lay ahead. He won't be making New Year resolutions A contented man his type of person rare I'm happy with my lot in life says Ricky 'In fact he doesn't seem to have a care'.
