Things Ain't What They Used to Be - Alma Cogan

Got so weary of bein' nothin'

Felt so dreary just doin' nothin'

Didn’t care ever gettin' nothin', felt so low

Now my eyes on the far horizon can see a glow

Announcin' things ain’t what they used to be

No use bein' a doubtin' Thomas

No ignorin' that rosy promise

Now I know there’s a happy story yet to come

It’s the dawn of a day of glory: millennium

I tell you things ain’t what they used to be
