Clifford T. Ward - Prams lyrics

When I was young I got married 'cause we needed a pram We were so young So foolish, just bread and no jam Since then I notice prams Everywhere I seem to go In every shape and size No matter how disguised. I've seen 'em dyin' Stripped of the wheels for a cart An' I've seen 'em tryin' Carryin' coal from the yard I used to see one sweat Pullin' on a rag and bone Cardigans and coats and dresses Overflowin' in a mess. Prams, some big and some small Takin' little children out for a walk Prams, some light and some dark Showin' all the babies out in the park. I've seen 'em glide Leading ladies in blue motif An' I've seen 'em stride Kids on top and underneath I've even watched 'em bite Leapin' out at motor cars Crazy how those drivers drive Amazin' how those prams survive. In Dublin town In a cafe window leant A sign that read 'No prams' and I wondered what it meant Right outside Switzers, down In Grafton Street an old pram stood Better times he'd long forgot Waitin' there for God knows what. Prams, some big and some small Takin' little children out for a walk Prams, some light and some dark Showin' all the babies out in the park. Prams, some smart and some dumb Teachin' little children how it's all done Prams, some rich and some poor Showin' little babies all that's in store. Prams, some good and some bad Teachin' all the children not to be sad Prams, some fat and some thin Showin' little babies how they can win. Prams, some walk and some run Takin' all the children out in the sun Prams, some light and some dark Showin' all the babies how to get smart. Prams, some rich and some poor Teachin' little children . . . . (fade).
