Well they’ve packed their bags, walked out the door

I’ve washed the sheets and vacuumed the floor

I know they wont be back any more

and I’ll miss them

Milo was worried and carried his lead

dear little Murphy refused his feed

George was watching with eyes that plead

and we’ll miss them

The’ve gone to Mildura that’s not too far

it only takes two days by car

we’ll visit when Gladys lifts the bar

till then we’ll miss them

Just George and me now feeling sad

telling each other its not that bad

exited that Johnny’s to be a dad

but missing them

Fighting hard not to shed a tear,

I know I’ll see them early next year

to welcome one more baby dear

But Oh I miss them

family groups wont be the same

and family stories will be quite tame

if somebody farts there’ll be noone to blame

we’ll all miss them

but every bird must leave the nest

and make decisions that suit them best

put their ambitions to the test

yet we’ll miss them

they are off to enjoy a brand new start

with smiles on their faces but sad to part

each child that I have has a piece of my heart

and I’m lucky
