Eighty Years Ago | Happy Birthday Di!

New little girl for Moo
Homemade clothes and homemade food
Sunshine tin for a shower in the shed
Boy and girl of her own, a bay by the sea
Book club, and blue ribbons at the show

Her name is Di: two say Mum, grandies call her Nan
Her name is Di: two say Mum, grandies call her Nan
And it all began, eighty years ago
Eighty years ago

A shop with those roast beef rolls, a town of trees and inlet views
A house by a dam, barbecues and card games too
Baking and creating, pulling a van across the years
Pascoe's outback stints, and Dardy days

Her name is Di: two say mum, grandies call her Nan
Her name is Di: two say mum, grandies call her Nan
And it all began, eighty years ago
That's where it all began
Eighty years ago
