MEMORIES OF THE CO-OP
She didn't know me from Adam
When I went into the shop
I looked around the shelves
And saw the things I liked on top
"Do you have a vase, in a paler shade
Of blue "?
She replied " I don't know Madam ,I'll
have a look for you"
She climbed the steps and took
Things down
Then told me of a shop in town
"I know they've got some madam,
it's not far for you to nip
Or, would you like me to ring so it's
not a wasted trip? "
Co-operative House, you’re a memory
Like the staff whose aim was to please
I'd wander in each department
Looking at goods with ease
Now when I pass by the building
I look and always remember
How in this elegant shop
I walked the stairs with such splendour
It was all at the Co -op
Goods were second to none
I can't bring past times back
But my memories will always
Live on
