"Old Silver" An Ode to Terry Lewis
He came to us a birdseye man,
One well remembered day,
He looked so very big and strong,
With hair three shades of grey.
He's nicknamed Errol Flynn by some,
The reason's plane to see,
It's wrapped around his money belt,
And three times round his knee.
Some say he is a careful man,
Some say he's even thrifty,
He won't give up his paper round,
Although he's nearly fifty.
He stands there in his whites so smart,
A rock beside the wicket,
With all the style and all the gear,
But no idea of cricket.
Holidays he never takes,
And motor cars are banned,
He went and took a test-drive once,
But broke the saleman's hand.
That stupid man must blame himself,
For trying to be so funny,
With Terry in the driving seat,
He went and mentioned money.
His bank accounts stretch round the world,
From Paris to Calcutta,
But if you ask him for a quid,
He coughs and starts to splutter,
But our Tel's quite a caring man,
He wouldn't let you beg,
But if repayment's one day late,
He'll break your bleedin leg!
So if you see big Tel today,
With on his face a frown,
He'll ask you of my whereabouts,
Just tell him I've left town!
