[00:00:00] Excerpt From A Teenage Opera - Keith West

[00:00:02] Written by：Keith Hopkins/Philwit

[00:00:18] Count the days into years

[00:00:23] His eighty two brings many fears

[00:00:29] Yesterday's laughter turned to tears

[00:00:34] His arms and legs don't feel so strong

[00:00:37] His heart is weak there's something wrong

[00:00:40] Opens windows in despair tries to breathe in some fresh air

[00:00:45] His conscience cries get on your feet

[00:00:48] Without you Jack the town can't eat

[00:00:51] Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back

[00:00:54] Go into town don't let them down oh no no

[00:01:01] Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back

[00:01:05] Go into town don't let them down oh no no

[00:01:15] The people that live in the town don't understand

[00:01:23] He's never been known to miss his round

[00:01:28] It's ten o'clock the housewives yell

[00:01:31] When Jack turns up we'll give him hell

[00:01:34] Husbands moan at breakfast tables

[00:01:36] No milk no eggs no marmalade labels

[00:01:39] Mothers send their children out

[00:01:42] To Jack's house to scream and shout

[00:01:45] Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back

[00:01:49] Come into town don't let us down oh no no

[00:01:55] Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back

[00:01:59] Come into town don't let us down oh no no

[00:02:38] It's Sunday morning bright and clear

[00:02:43] Lovely flowers decorate a marvellous square

[00:02:51] People cry and walk away and think about the fateful day

[00:02:57] Now they wish they'd given Jack more affection and respect

[00:03:02] The little children dressed in black

[00:03:05] Don't know what happened to old Jack

[00:03:08] Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true what mummy says

[00:03:13] You won't come back oh no no

[00:03:18] Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true what mummy says

[00:03:24] You won't come back oh no no

[00:03:29] Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true what mummy says

[00:03:35] You won't come back oh no no

[00:03:40] Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true what mummy says

[00:03:45] You won't come back oh no no

[00:03:51] Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true what mummy says

[00:03:56] You won't come back oh no no
