I'm nearing the end of my halycon twenties And thirty is looming alarming ahead And family members have started their sighing Indulgently at me shaking their heads. Cause here I am. the family maiden aunt Isn't-it sad, marriage-hopes a fading aunt This lonely-future-expectation laden aunt I wonder what on earthh's to become of me now. My cousins and siblings in wadded bliss settled Between them x spouses and about fifty kids And me, I'm still single without any prospects A very sure sign that me life's on the skids. And here I am, the family maiden aunt Isn't-it sad, marraige-hopes a fading aunt The lonely-future-expectation laden aunt I tell y ou want I wouldn't swap it for quids! Cause who do you think it is Who's always got t he time to play At gatherings of the family clan extended And who delights in sharing All the magic of their day. And gets to give them back again at night. Yes its me, the family maiden aunt... Cause who do you think it is That gets to take them to the zoo Or ferry them to Manlyfor a fun day? And who delights in ding all the things They love to do And stillg ets to give them back at night?
