lyrics

Ethyl
Costelloe/Charlton/Lee/francois

Ethyl’s in her daughter’s room
Going through her precious things
Finding the old wedding ring
She leaves her grandson
Parked in front of the TV screen

And everyday she wanders off
Taking even longer than the day before
Dreaming of a time ahead
Where everything’s as perfect
As the hand she’s dealt

The pawn shop turns her gold to green
She’s avoiding her old lawn bowls team
Feeling lucky in her bones
So she makes a beeline for her favourite machine

Gravitates to the Queen of the Nile
She circles round the chair three times
Holds a dollar in her palm that shines
And polishes it on her magic thigh

Coloured lights have her entranced
An empty purse in her left hand
With one armed she does all her bidding
Whispers while she rubs her giant genie lamp

And everyday she wanders off
Taking even longer than the day before
Dreaming of a time ahead
Where everything’s as perfect
As the hand she’s dealt.
