The Hollies
Ye Olde Toffee Shop
(Alan Clarke/Tony Hicks/Graham Nash)
Track 9 on album 'Evolution' (June 1967)
I press my nose against the pane
of the little toffee shop.
Day after day I save my pennies
to spend at the toffee shop.
Come Saturday morn at nine o'clock,
I stand on the cold stone street.
A penny every day that I have saved
to buy myself some sweets.
The nice, little lady, old and grey,
with gla*ses and shawl.
Gives love away to good little boys
who do as they are told.
She's always telling stories
of her childhood days.
She couldn't buy the things that I can
for families in those days.
{interlude}
Imagine the sweets that I can buy
with six pennies of my own.
I always take my time to choose
the sweets that I'll be taking home.
Gobstoppers in my pockets,
brown sugar in my hand,
lollies you s*ck that last all day,
and sugar that looks like sand.
