lyrics
Astley days, Astley days,
On the green with a ball and the fields of hay,
What a lovely day! What a lovely day!
Lets go into the woods and see the trees,
And find the doll from the pervert in the council house.
How I miss them. How I miss the football.
I wish I had another chance for one slow dance at The Copeman Center. Fishy and the boys are on the bender,
Katrina and the girls are sipping on cokes in the corner.
Astley days, Astley days
On the field I’ll have it my way.
Astley days, I’ll have it my way.
Don’t forget Mrs Pegg with the long legs
How I miss them, how I miss aerobics.
I wish I had another chance for one slow dance at The Copeman Center, Fishy and the boys are on the bender,
Katrina and the girls are sipping on coke in the corner.
So we better hit the floor and get down to it
Cause my mum will pick us up in 15 minutes.
They’re playing Bryan Adams so I’ll ask Kerry if you can dance with Katrina
