10am on a Saturday outside the cinema I used to play <br />Lovely old songs to the generation that can understand <br />The value of life, true romance I've even seen people start to dance <br />With a grin on their face at the way I'd brighten up the place <br /><br />Now the cinema foyer has a flat TV <br />And they turn it up full once they've spotted me <br />Because they're too young to understand <br />Sometimes it's good to lend a helping hand <br />They don't care about the folks outside <br />It's bums on seats that keeps 'em satisfied <br />And they're telling me to move on <br /><br />I remember the queue that sang Jingle Bells while I played my whistle <br />That's a tale to tell but that all happened years ago, sweet memories <br />People took photos, smiled and waved <br />Some would say I was very brave <br />But it's time too say goodbye to those happier days <br /><br />Because the cinema foyer has a flat TV <br />And they turn it up full once they've spotted me <br />They need to grow up so they can understand <br />Sometimes it's good to lend a helping hand <br />They don't care about the folks outside <br />It's bums on seats that keeps 'em satisfied
