DANA & Val Doonican Boney Fingers 1984 (FoD123)

The best way to follow a DANA / Val Doonican duet is with another one, this time with a bonus interview. She was pregnant at the time and he let her know that he knew: "How did you know?!" "I've read about these things!" This edition of the Val Doonican Music Show (1975-1986) was broadcast on 16 June 1984. John James was born on 5 November in Westminster Hospital (1719-1992). We will all feel a little older when her son celebrates middle age in 2024!

The rain's coming down and the roof won't hold it
I lost my job and I feel a little older
The car won't run and our love's grown colder
But maybe things'll get a little better in the morning
Maybe things'll get a little better

Well the clothes need washing and the fire won't start
The kids are crying and you're breaking my heart
The whole darn place is falling apart
But maybe things'll get a little better in the morning
Maybe things'll get a little better

You work your fingers to the bone, whadda you get
Boney fingers, boney fingers

Now I've been broke for as long as I remember
I get a little money and I gotta run and spend it
'Cause when I try to save it, pretty women come and take it
But maybe things'll get a little better in the morning
Maybe things'll get a little better

Oh, well the grass won't grow, the sun's too hot
The whole darn world is going to pot
We might as well like it 'cause we're all that we've got
And maybe things'll get a little better in the morning
Maybe things'll get a little better

You work your fingers to the bone, whadda you get
Boney fingers, boney fingers

The rain's coming down and the roof won't hold it
I lost my job and I feel a little older
The car won't run and our love's grown colder
But maybe things'll get a little better in the morning
Maybe things'll get a little better

You work your fingers to the bone, whadda you get
Boney fingers, boney fingers

You work your fingers to the bone, whadda you get
Boney fingers
