my friend the chocolate cake - nanny's farewell lyrics
flint eyed nanny with her old white face
one old old hand in her pocket keeping warm
her ears all shrivelled hide beneath her scarf
and she’s waving goodbye to me
for i’m gone, i’m gone across the sea
away from the family
one tear dripping but the others staying proud
she shakes her crooked fingers
always as she tells a last wise tale
listen to the stories that the old and worn gang tell
they’re the stories that we must keep passing on
for i’m gone, i’m gone across the sea
away from the family
she grabs my elbow then we dance out loud
she looks into my face twice over and she smiles into my eyes
and then we both start singing, christ we both sing bad
she’s singing goodbye to me
for i’m gone, i’m gone across the sea
away from the family
she says now don’t expect me to be here when you return
my mind is getting creaky and my bunions getting sore
keep on searching til you cannot search no more
and then she turns her back on me
for i’m gone, i’m gone across the sea
away from the family
