Lyrics:

Did you ever stand and shiver**lf**while looking at a freezing river**lf**Have you froze to the bone**lf**with just a coat to keep you warm**lf**to keep you from a howlin'' wind**lf**to keep you from a howlin'' wind**lf**Now listen**lf****lf**Have you perished in the drizzling rain**lf**Tried to light ... a lift but all in vain**lf**With your sock on your head**lf**and that old coat on your back**lf**to keep you from the drizzlin'' rain**lf**oh to keep you from the drizzlin'' rain**lf**Goodbye**lf****lf**One more time**lf****lf**Did you sleep in a graveyard when it snowed**lf**Laid your head on a .....**lf**With the Times on your face**lf**and that old coat on your back**lf**That kept you from a-withering away good God**lf**It just kept you from a-withering away**lf****lf**I know**lf****lf**And did you ride a lift on a steam train**lf**Now listen**lf**Had the misfortune not to pay your fare**lf**Thrown off the next stop**lf**Thrown in the doorway of a shop**lf**With that coat to keep you from the wind**lf**Oh that old school coat to keep you from the wind**lf**And that ain''t all**lf****lf**Have you had some good friends on the road with ya**lf**who''d stand by you through thick and thin**lf**Here''s to Kevin and Ben, Susie and Len**lf**And that coat which never lets you down**lf**It never, never, never lets you down**lf**It never, never, never lets you down**lf**That old coat which never lets you down**lf**That old coat which never lets you down**lf**Kept me from the drizzlin'' rain**lf**And oh, kept me from the drizzlin'' rain
