by Pekka Rechardt and Jim Pembroke. Album: The Lucky Golden Stripes And Starpose (1976)
INTRO: RIFF A

A (Riff A cont.)            H
Closing down the social termination
A                          H
The season's at it's end final grades
A                             H
No more rugby tips or sailing sing-songs
A                               H
Member-ship to Life for history fades

  RIFF B
        G#m                      C#m
  They're taking down the pretty decorations
  G#m                           C#m
  Closing the salon and smoking room
  G#m                             C#m
  Garden Fete arranged for two on Tuesday
  G#m                    C#m
  Preparation for coming boom

RIFF A
They're wrapping up the pretty Tinsel paper
Hoisting down the banners in a line
Jumble sale arranged for July Tombsday
(Duets of "Love Me Do" and "Auld Lang Syne")

  RIFF B
  They're packing all the cheerful Raffia paper
  Rolling up carpets in a line
  Charity arranged for two on Chooseday
  Bring yer woolly socks 'n' I'll bring mine

RIFF A
Reservations have been booked for the Occasion
Ship and chauffeur too be both in place
The revolving of the Ages will be beginning
To take us out of Time into Space
