Affairs In Order © Roy Harris & Dai Crowther July 2011 Verse 1. I went to my doctor today He said, ‘Son, it’s too late to pray You’ve only got one month to live Here’s the best advice that I can give Draw up a will so they will know Who gets your money when you go The only other thing I’ve got to say Is get your affairs in order’ Lift: Well I thought hard and I thought long I didn’t want to get this wrong Verse 2. I looked at him with tearful eyes Told him I was too young to die He said ‘Ah, that’s what they all say But son you’ve seen your better days Before you leave there’s one more thing I’m envious of all your flings So trust me with their names and numbers son And get your affairs in order’ Lift: Well I thought hard and I thought long I didn’t want to get this wrong Chorus: Amanda, you’re my number one (Thank you Honey) You know I’ll always love you Hon Ruby you’re my number two (Hi Sweetie…) When I called you came through And then, of course there’s my little Michelle (Good morning Sir) You’re my sweet Southern Belle Dee-Dee you’re my number four (Last ‘till best Sugar?) You’re what every man is looking for That’s my affairs in order Yes Sir, that’s my affairs in order Bridge: (Spoken Over Melody) My name is Doctor Josiah Carmichael - The Third And it is my duty and honour to address you all on this most rueful day We acknowledge the passing of a truly excellent friend Although a confirmed bachelor until the end of his days He was inordinately affectionate and generous to all those in his fold And he has entrusted me, as his Doctor and mentor With the solemn duty of caring for and nurturing all of those he loved (Phone ringing - 2 bars) Hello Doctor, how may I help you Chorus: Amanda, you’re my number one (Thank you Honey) You know I’ll always love you Hon Ruby you’re my number two (Hi Sweetie…) When I call you always come through And then, of course there’s my little Michelle (Good morning Sir) You’re the sweetest Southern Belle Dee-Dee you’re my number four (Last ‘till best Sugar?) You’re what every man is looking for Tag: I’ve got his affairs in order Yes Sir, I’ve got his affairs in order Get your affairs in order son!
