Nothing To Say

Remember walking with you by my side 
You were my Papa and I was your pride 
Now I've got children and I'm going grey 
No time for talking I got nothin' to say 

Those Sunday dinners that we had at home 
Now I've got a house and I've got friends of my own 
We can't do tomorrow what we did yesterday 
It's best that we're going our separate ways, OK 

How is your rheumatism (nothing to say) 
How are your chillblains (nothing to say) 
How's Aunty Mabel (nothing to say) 
So far Papa, I got nothin' to say, OK 

Those happy days we spent together 
We thought our world would never change 
How the days go by 
And things will never be the same 

You keep pretending that everything's fine 
So you make small talk to help pass the time 
But all the words that you spit from your face 
Add up to nothin' you got nothin' to say 

How are those noisy neighbors next door 
I'll have to go soon 'cos I'm getting bored 
I gotta be home early to see a good play 
So far Papa, I got nothin' to say 

How is your life insurance (nothing to say) 
How is your trade union (nothing to say) 
How is your Independence (nothing to say) 
So for Papa, I got nothin' to say
