[Spoken]
What was it like when you and Charlie were young men?
What was it like when I was younger?

I came swatting in with hipster corduroys
Dad said "look at you these days
You can't tell the girls from boys"
Bust my packet on a military jacket and a clipper tie
He just went like this and rolled his eye

"You're not going out there dressed like that
With a bit of lipstick on, you could double for your Auntie Pat
You're not going out there dressed like that
Apart from anything else you look a prat"

"In my day," he said, "we didn't have a lot
We all did our national service where they learned us what was what
If we dressed like you and then gone out at night
We'd've all been bashed up in a fight"

Then he said
"You're not going out there dressed like that
Chelsea boots with Cuban heels
Leaving marks on your mum's new mat
What do you think you look like in that hat?
You're not going out there dressed like that"
Kids these days, what do they know?
Love and peace, I don't think so
I fought wars so you don't have to go

You're not going out there dressed like that
With a bit of lipstick on, you could double for your Auntie Pat
You're not going out there dressed like that
Quite apart from anything else
Quite apart from anything else
Quite apart from anything else...
You look a prat. (Hey!)

You're not going out there dressed like that
Chelsea boots with Cuban heels
Leaving marks on your mum's new mat
What do you think you look like in that hat?
You're not going out there dressed like that

That's that
