about

I love old people. I particularly love old people who wear bucket hats and hold hands when they are out walking. Those who sit with their heads together sharing an ice-cream and their secrets. This is a real and imagined story of such a life. With yodeling!

lyrics

Ice-Cream & Secrets

(Yodel)

Hang up the bunting
I made it myself
Put on a white dress belonged to my mother
Lay out the table
Dust off the chairs
You’ll wear a black suit
You look like your father

I love you and you love me
And oh how happy we will be

Find a little house
Pretty as a picture
Move to the country where everything’s quieter
Get a few chickens
Grow a few trees
Live off our own land sweet in the sunshine

I love you and you love me
And oh how happy we will be

Have a little baby
Name him after my dad
Walking the floor with him when he’s not sleeping
We’ll tell him stories
Teach him how to love
Give him the roots and the wings for his own life

I love you and you love me
And oh how happy we will be
(Yodel)

 
Now we’re getting’ older
Joints are all creaky
Blue lacey legs now just like my mother had
Still holding hands
When we go walking
We’ll share an ice-cream and all of our secrets

I love you and you love me
And oh how happy we will be
I love you and you love me
And oh how happy we will be
(Yodel)

We’re still sharing ice-cream and all of our secrets
