Reunion Ball from Homework by Hereward Kaye

Jimmy got married to Judy or Jean
Harry got carried away by the scheme
Sailed round the world in a home-made canoe
Last thing I heard he was still living in Crewe
Tony’s still lonely, Billy’s inside
Rosemary told me with tears in her eyes

But what happened to you?
I lost your number
Do you really pass through?
Why don’t you give me a call?
Did you move to Peru?
Are you living down-under?
Every year I get to wonder
At this Reunion Ball

Johnny still talks about the Socialist Dream
But still never notices what’s happening to Jean
Stevie appeared on a TV Game Show
He won one year’s free beer
And a car that won’t go
Katy’s still waiting for a millionaire
Cathy came and asked me if I knew how you were

So we talked about you
Did you marry a sailor?
Did you find your way through?
Did you stumble and fall?
Are your eyes still so blue?
Are you in Venezuela?
It’s a bit of a failure
This Reunion Ball

Vic he got sick, had to sell off his store
Bernie isn’t turning any tricks anymore
Bobby left the band, said he just got to old
For sleeping in bands and that sweet rock ‘n roll
Sold that old piano after you went away
But every year we gather here they get me to play

And I sing it all for you
For the days we were flying
Went some place called Peru
It’s just a map on the wall
If someone tells you
I ended up crying
That was just my bad timing
And this Reunion Ball
That was just my bad timing
And this Reunion Ball
