Everything Goes - ListenHere
First go the ears,
then the eyes,
then the nose.
I got a pain in my knees
that goes down to my toes.
My memory’s fast fading and
I can’t find my clothes.
Seems one thing stops workin’ then
everything goes.
She came with the Springtime
she bloomed like a rose;
through Summer to Autumn
when the windy wind blows.
She was gone by the winter
and I nearly froze.
Sometimes it seems as though
everything goes.
Little hands, tiny fingers,
no troubles, no woes,
awaddling and asquattling
and itty-bitty bows.
Oh how quick, without warning,
a little child grows;
first footsteps come slowly,
then everything goes.
There’s an old saying says that
he reaps what he sows,
but I’ve been reaping and sowing
with no harvest to show.
Where it’s all going,
nobody knows;
one thing’s for certain,
everything goes.
We work everyday till
the week comes to close.
With a fistful of payday
we set drinks up in rows.
When our pockets are empty,
the merriment slows;
it’s time to start over when
everything goes.
