The Ambulance Badge Lyrics

Ralph got himself the ambulance badge

In the July of nineteen thirty-two

So if you ever stumble fall and hurt yourself

He'll know exactly what to do for you

The otter patrol boys have got it under control

Collecting all their badges lads are onto a roll

But that was over ninety-one years ago

And now the boys are long gone

And I've got to let it go

Time takes it's time to remind you

That your days are numbered

And the best are behind you

But that doesn't have to be

Take a look at Ralphie

He moved on

Got married

Had the kid

Who had the kid

Who had me

I inherited my great-granddaddy's watch

The man was quite literally outlived by the clock

And now nothing cuts quite like it's ticking sound

The most visceral of reminders that I'll be in the ground

I inherited my great-granddaddy's watch

The man was quite literally outlived by the clock

And now nothing cuts quite like it's ticking sound

The most visceral of reminders that I'll be in the ground

One day

Time takes it's time to remind you

That your days are numbered

And the best are behind you

But that doesn't have to be

Take a look at Ralphie

He moved on

Got married

Had the kid

Who had the kid

Who had me

Time takes it's time to remind you

That your days are numbered

And the best are behind you

But that doesn't have to be

Take a look at Ralphie

He moved on

Got married

Had the kid

Who had the kid

Who had me

Ralph got himself the ambulance badge

In the July of nineteen thirty-two
