Empty nest syndrome can be a frightening thought...unless it is turned toward this self fulfilling prophecy of travel, entertainment, and beach time. Let’s have some fun!
Lyrics
VERSE 1
When the kids are all grown, and it’s you and me, Lets
pack up and travel, the world
It’ll be just like the old days as the Scottish
isles unfurled
We’ll hike in the hills with the black faced sheep
Their work dogs circling fast
At night in the pubs with the local folk their
brogue so thick, we have to laugh
CHORUS
Carry on, carry on, Carry on, carry on
when we grow old and young
(repeat- whistle)
VERSE 2
When the kids are all grown And its you and me Lets grab us two seats for the show
Oh the broadway stage It lifts me like nothing I’ll ever know
The talent and magic will have its way and I’ll swear to one day take that stage
You’ll smile and you’ll say that you know I will For talent knows no age
CHORUS
BRIDGE
But back to the here and now It’s a rare occasion
and the kids are all out
Lets watch a bad movie and sip a Drambuie Oh the good life starts right now!
And what will the neighbors say When they see us sitting on the porch day after day
They might think we’re dull but what they cant see…..
Is a big swarm of gnats and the’yre spinnin and a bobbin as the sunlight peeks through the
hickory trees at the right time of the evening and it shines with a beam on the big swarm of
gnats and you wonder what they’re doin.. phew
1/2 CHORUS
Carry on, carry on, Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on
VERSE 3
When the kids are all grown And its you and me Lets build a little house At the shore
Oh the grandkids can drive us crazy With the sand and wet towels on the floor
But their smiles ringed with Chocolate
And freckled cheeks will endear us clearer through
Til we paddle away for some Quiet time in your Kayak built for two
CHORUS
OUTRO
Carry on, carry on, Carry on, carry on, oh let us us grow old and young
