It's Alright, It's Okay

If asked to pick my favorite current TV show I would answer in a heartbeat, the BBC production New Tricks. If you haven't seen it you are missing out on a real treat.
It revolves around four great characters - oddballs every one of them - played by some of Britain's finest actors. Three of them are retired police officers, detectives. Their boss is a hard-bitten female who comes close to being driven off the deep end trying to keep them in line. She can't, of course.
The song introducing the show has become quite popular, yet BBC has not released it on a CD. Because of this, fans have typed out the lyrics and posted them on the Internet, proving once again that you can find anything imaginable on the web if you take time to look. Like so many others, I love the song. Unfortunately I can't sing it for you so here is the way it goes:

It's alright, it's okay,
Doesn't really matter if you're old and grey.
It's alright, I say it's okay,
Listen to what I say.
It's alright, doin' fine,
Doesn't really matter if the sun don't shine.
It's alright, I say it's okay,
We're gettin' to the end of the day.
High tech low tech, take your pick,
Cos' you can't teach an old dog
a brand new trick.
I don't care what anybody says,
At the end of the day,
There's no place that I can't find,
A drink or two to ease my mind.

So there you have it: my themesong. The words I live by.
