When I was seEmventeen it was a vFery good year,
It was a veEmry good year
For smGall town girls and sFoft summer nights.
We'd hEide from the lights
On the viDllage green when I was seEventeen.
When I was tweEmntyone, it was a vFery good year,
It was a veEmry good year
For ciGty girls who lFived up the stair,
With perfEumed hair
That caDme undone, when I was twentEy-one.
When I was thirEmty-five it was a vFery good year,
It was a vEmery good year
For bGlue blooded girls of iFndependant means.
We'd riEde in limousines
Their chauffDeurs would drive when I was thirtEy-five.
But now the dayEms are short, I'm in the aFutumn of the year,
And now I tEmhink of my life
As vintGage wine from the Fold kegs,
From the brEim to the dregs
It poured sweeDt and clear; it was a Every good year !
