Son of New Limerick. (New Limerick contd.)

The loft got refilled very soon
It hardly took an afternoon
There's photos galore
Christmas stuff by the score

The loft got refilled very soon
It hardly took an afternoon
There's photos galore
Christmas stuff by the score
And a brown thing shaped like a spoon

My basement needs clearing now too

My basement needs clearing now too
There’s tins of paint and tubes of glue

My basement needs clearing now too
There's tins of paint and tubes of glue
They've been there for years

My basement needs clearing now too
There's tins of paint and tube's of glue
They've been there for years
And the kids loved bears

My basement needs clearing now too
There's tins of paint and tube's of glue
They've been there for years
And the kids loved bears
It'll all have to go they're now due

Where shall I take all that stuff

Where shall I take all that stuff?
The thrift shop has more than enough

Where shall I take all that stuff?
The thrift shop has more than enough
The bags through the door

Where shall I take all that stuff?
The thrift shop has more than enough
The bags through the door
I've used them before

Where shall I take all that stuff
The thrift shop has more than enough
The bags through the door
I've used them before
To dump all my treasures be tough

Out with the old , in with the new

Out with the old , in with the new,
But I like bits of old, don't you?

Out with the old, in with the new,
But I like bits of old, don't you?
What's treasure? What's trash?

Out with the old, in with the new
But I like bits of old, don’t you?
What’s treasure? What’s trash?
Sell some things for cash?

Out with the old, in with the new
But I like bits of old, don’t you?
What’s treasure? What’s trash?
Sell some things for cash?
Think I'll still keep an item or two.

So my basement is cluttered again

So my basement is cluttered again
I'll get it tidy, but when?

So my basement is cluttered again
I'll get it tidy, but when?
By this time next year?

So my basement is cluttered again
I'll get it tidy, but when?
By this time next year
It’s sure to be clear

So my basement is cluttered again
I'll get it tidy, but when?
By this time next
It's sure to be clear
I'll have put the stuff in the den

Oh how did I get all this stuff?

Oh how did I get all this stuff?
Should have said enough is enough

Oh how did I get all this stuff?
Should have said enough is enough
Do I need all these shoes?

Oh how did I get all this stuff?
Should have said enough is enough
Do I need all these shoes?
And old prints of the news?

Oh how did I get all this stuff?
Should have said enough is enough
Do I need all these shoes?
And old prints of news?
I really will have to get tough

But I don't know where to begin

But I don't know where to begin
What will stay? What goes in the bin?

But I don't know where to begin
What will stay? What goes in the bin?
So be very firm

But I don't know where to begin
What will stay? what goes in the bin?
So be very firm
There's no need to squirm
