Bye, bye Bill McCai
Bye, bye Bill McCai
His happy smile seems out of place
Same old faces, same old sounds
An' everyday when he gets the train
Looks out the window and he thinks in vain
An' everyday when he gets the train
And we say
Eyes fixed on the new telly
Something different about his face
Take it away Bill
If I could only be that boy again
Bill McCai was just found dead
Heart attacks, orthopedic backs
Looks out the window and he thinks in vain
A news flash came then it said
Hung himself out in the rain
Another day, another gin
Now he'll never be that boy again
Sunday school was his shelter
His kids don't even notice him
Now those days so far away
Now he's gone so fat and bald
Sales job it gets him down
No more windows, no more trains
His wife can't stand the sight of him
Documents and labeled racks
He never thought that he'd grow old
I'm waiting for the meter man
Family gathered round for tea
With his routine glass of gin
He could be that boy again
She makes his lunch of processed ham
With his friends Joe and Walter
If I could only be that boy again
An empty swing where he once played
