[IMMY byViv Gee
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're dancing
With the woman of your dreams In an upstairs ballroom
With a clear view
From your once tired blue eyes
I hope you forgot to take your glasses I hope you left your hearing aid
Your bathroom hand rail
Your personal toilet
Your pills you never trusted
I hope you're growing garlic in a garden of bookie shops I hope you’re completing crosswords ‘
And reading tealeaves
And making perfect scones
And stoking a fire
With egg shells. tea bags and empty pandrop bags I hope you've found a piece
Of the action you were too frail to enjoy
I hope you're happy now. old man I hope you're now a happy boy
