as a child, didn't need many toys
played ball with the real greenhills boys
did it all with boldness and poise
born the eldest of eight
left home for australian estates
but was stopped in frankfurt by fate
and when all is said and done
through happiness and dismay
we know that each and every day
including this day, he did it his way
he had the shirt on his back
his twenty years, and one old rucksack
and built a grand life on that
abroad, when not at his bar
a father to six shining stars
but still tony's so young at heart
and when all is said and done
through happiness and dismay
we know that each and every day
including this day, he did it his way
