She was born in London town in 1965
When everything was swinging and the music came alive
So plug her in and start to play 
Eight days a week to pay her way

She’s good to play, good to play

Music changes as fashions do, what once was hip’s no longer cool
Bought and sold, stored and forgotten, but it was dry so nothing rotten
“So dust me down and take me off the shelf 
Take a picture, say I’m in good health”
 
Up for auction - on ebay

It started slowly, I kept my nerve, and she got what she deserved
Then a 9 hours drive to Lincoln there and back 
And the sat nav got me cross
I kept on getting lost

Got her home and start to play, she sounded sweet, A OK
But the hum -- wouldn’t go away
The man said “pretty good for her age”
He fixed her up and I paid

So she’s a little rough but still good to play 
Still good to play

She was born in London town in 1965

Eight days a week to pay her way

Yes she’s a little rough but still good to play 
Still good to play
