An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down Songtext

von Rod Stewart

Did you ever stand and 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 a howlin' wind,
To keep you from a howlin' wind?
Now listen...
Have you perished in the drizzling rain?
Tried to laugh a little but all in vain.
With your sock on your head
And that old coat on your back
To keep you from the drizzlin' rain,
Oh, to keep you from the drizzlin' rain.
Goodbye...
Lalalala, lalalala, lalala...
One more time...
Did you sleep in a graveyard when it snowed?
Laid your head on an alley, want to hear you...
Ah, with the ?Times? on your face
And that old coat on your back
That kept you from to wither you away, good God...
It just kept you from to wither you away.
I know...
Lalalallaalala, lalalalalalala, lalalalalalalalalala...
Oh yeah!
And did you ride a lift on a steam train?
Now listen...
Had the misfortune not to pay your 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'd stand by you through thick and thin.
Here's to Kevin and Ben, Susie and Len
And that coat which never lets you down.
It never, never, never lets you down.
It never, never, never lets you down.
That old coat which never lets you down.
That old coat which never lets you down.
Kept me from the drizzlin' rain
And, oh, kept me from the drizzlin' rain.
Never, never, never, never, never...
