about

I performed in the Theatre Royal in Barkerville for a number of summers.
Though each summer the shows were different, each year I was housed in the Wells Apartments and had my daily routines . Some very fond memories.

lyrics

SOLEBAKKE
For 8 straight years up 22 steps
in the Wells apartments here on Solebakke Avenue
I have hauled my stuff and I've set up house
And done the things that certain Solebakke people do

Chorus
Solebakke - Nagasaki
Not much in common but a little bit of thyme
Solebakke - Nagasaki
Live on one I'm gonna sing about the other sometime

For 8 straight years I have gone to work
I've left my penthouse suite on Solebakke Avenue
I a have been a cook and a cat and a captain
A bumble bee I o the things i like to do

Chorus

Bridge
For 8 straight years the television joys of the CBC
For 8 straight years the telephone company messin with me
For 8 straight years at my place of play
I hear it twice by the end of the day
Immortal words ringing loud and true
"Turn to your left say How do ya Do - oo -oo

For 8 straight years there's many a face
I only see while i live on Solebakke Aveny
As I drive away after Labour day -
There's a fondness for the face of nearly every one of you

Chorus
