Did you ever spend a shiver While looking at a freezing river? Have you froze to the bone With just a coat to keep you warm? To keep you from the island wind? To keep you from the island wind? Now listen Have you perished in the drizzling rain? Tried to lie to live for all the rain? With your sock on your head And that old coat on your back To keep you from the drizzling rain? To keep you from the drizzling rain? Goodbye Did you sleep in a graveyard when it snowed? Did you wait on an R.I.P.? With the times on your face And that old coat on your back That kept you from withering away? Good God, it just kept you from withering away I know Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Oh yeah Did you ride a lift on a steam train? Now listen Had the misfortune not to pay a fare? Thrown off the next stop? Thrown in the doorway of a shop? With that coat to keep you from the wind? Oh, that old school coat to keep you from the wind? And that ain't all Have you had some good friends on the road with you? Who stand by you through thick and thin? Here's to Kevin and Ben Susie and Len And that coat which never let you down It never, never, never let you down It never, never, never let you down That old coat which never let you down That old coat which never let you down Kept me from the drizzling rain Oh, kept me from the drizzling rain
