lyrics

Reliably first to arrive
Every morning as
Smooth-running as the last

He’s an armchair general semi-retired
But he’s fully on guard
With a bald head and a finely groomed moustache

He was there, one of the first over there
They took care, they took care of everything
Duty bound, with honour and fidelity
No dirty wounds, with his declared identity

He reads and needs the news
Catches forty winks as an undercover snooze
Dreaming of heavily polished shoes

A yarn mop twirls on tiled floors
Dancing a Viennese
To the sound of his bunch of jangling keys

He was there, one of the first over there
They took care, they took care of everything
Duty bound, with honour and fidelity
No dirty wounds, with his declared identity

His past marked in regimented lines
Of engraved stone sundials
These seasoned veterans reminisce
Oh how he is missed

Reluctantly last to go home
He sets the alarm
Love is a four digit code
