Elaine’s 27‑Year Encore

Lyrics

Verse 1 Twenty-seven years at Forest Hill, Elaine was queen upon the hill, Walked through the doors like she owned the place, With a look of pride all over her face. “Nothing sticks to me,” she’d always say, Then strut around and seize the day, But after all those years, my friend, The longest chapter had to end. Chorus Oh, Elaine finally went, Twenty-seven years and the time was spent, She thought her shit was sweet as gold, But every story eventually gets told. Raise your glass and sing along, Elaine has finally moved on! Verse 2 There were whispers down at the nightclub bar, Stories that travelled near and far, Ray saw something back in the day, And ever since, folks had plenty to say. The old leisure manager got a mention too, And the rumour mill did what rumour mills do, By closing time, the tales had grown— But Elaine was still the talk of town. Chorus Oh, Elaine finally went, Twenty-seven years and the time was spent, She thought her shit was sweet as gold, But every story eventually gets told. Raise your glass and sing along, Elaine has finally moved on! Verse 3 Then came the granny years, forty-three, Life sure moves at velocity, While everybody shouted, “Where’d the time go?” Elaine just carried on with the show. Twenty-seven years, that’s quite a run, Enough adventures for everyone, So pack your bags and close that door, Forest Hill won’t be the same anymore! Final Chorus Oh, Elaine finally went, Twenty-seven years and the time was spent, From Forest Hill to stories untold, A legend in the corridors of old. So bang the tables, sing it strong— Twenty-seven years, and now she’s gone! Elaine finally went! Yeah, Elaine finally went! And Forest Hill carries on!
