Lyrics

Elton John — Tell Me When The Whistle Blows

There's a dusty old gutter he's lying in now

Mmm, He's blind and he's old

And there's a bottle that rolls down the road

Me, I'm young and I'm so wild

And I still feel the need

Of your apron strings once in a while

For there's taxi cabs a-hooting

But I can't be foot-loose forever
