Lyrics
[Verse 1]
From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar
When the dawn begins to crack
It's all part of my Autumn Almanac
[Verse 2]
Breeze blows leaves of a musty colored yellow
So I sweep them in my sack
Yes, yes, yes, it's my Autumn Almanac
[Verse 3]
Friday evenings, people get together
Hiding from the weather
Tea and toasted buttered currant buns
Can't compensate for lack of sun
Because the summer's all gone
[Verse 4]
Oh, my poor rheumatic back
Yes, yes, yes, it's my Autumn Almanac
Oh, my Autumn Almanac
Yes, yes, yes, it's my Autumn Almanac
[Verse 5]
I like my football on a Saturday
Roast beef on Sundays, all right
I got to Blackpool for my holidays
Sit in the open sunlight
[Verse 6]
This is my street and I'm never gonna leave it
And I'm always gonna stay here
If I live to be ninety-nine
'Cause all the people I meet
Seem to come from my street
And I can't get away
Because it's calling me
(Come on home)
Is it calling me?
(Come on home)
[Verse 7]
Oh, my Autumn Almanac
Yes, yes, yes, it's my Autumn Almanac
Oh, my Autumn Almanac
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes, yes
