Long ago in my childhood I remember a movie playing
There sounded a funny song in it
Quite a few years have passed but this song couplet
Got stuck in my memory
And I'm singing it to again remember my childhood
Chorus
Hey, Auntie, to no end you're taking this medicine
And keep looking out of the window
Don't worry, Auntie, Uncle's at work
And not with someone out at the movies
Hey, Auntie, you're crying your tears to no end
Your husband is a model family man
Give up your grief and forgive him
For the sake of your birthday
A year changes a year, Auntie keeps waiting for Uncle
And I'm not sure she'll make it
It doesn't sink in why this trivial plot
Keeps coming back to me
As I have neither aunt nor uncle
Chorus
If the rain's beating in my pain and it's no fun any more
Or I can't get over an old wound
Like a life-buoy memory throws me over and over again
This funny tune of the past cloudless years
And I say with a smile oy-oy-oy
Chorus
