There were
young folk in the church hall
In the old days they packed
them in
There was laughter, there was singing,
it's a different story now.
It's just a little town getting smaller every year,
let the years slip quickly by, and then
Wave your kids goodbye,
off to make a life away from here
This town is getting smaller every year
Have your children,
give them schooling
Give them friendship,
give them love
Finish high school,
hold them tightly
Shed a tear and let them go
It's just a little town getting
smaller every year
Let the years slip quickly by,
and then wave your kids goodbye
Off to make a life away from here
This town is getting smaller every year
Head to uni, go to college
Get employment, get a trade
Meet a partner, start a fam ily,
only back on holidays
It's just a little town getting
smaller every year
Let the years slip quickly by and
then wave your kids goodbye
Off to make a life away from here
This town is getting smaller
every year
Smaller every year
Yeah, smaller every year
Oh, smaller every year
Smaller and smaller
