Old

They're taking you to dinner,

they're taking you to tea,

It's meals on wheels forever,

interminably,

You're old.

Now it takes you twenty

when it used to take you five,

Every morning when you wake up

it's not good to be alive,

You're old.

Half your friends are dying,

half your friends are dead,

It takes you half an hour

just to buy a loaf of bread,

You're old.

The Zimmer frame needs mending,

the arthritis makes you sad,

Angina is Regina,

the good times are all bad,

You're old.
