O, Do Not Forsake Me

O, do not forsake me, my indolent friends

O, do not forsake me though you know I must spend

All my darkest hours talking like this

For I am one thousand years old

One thousand years old

Sure, you think that's old

One thousand years old

But what do you know?

In my darkest hour I'm talking like this

For I am one thousand years old

Oh, some have forgotten a flower of speech

And walks through the garden where I go to defend

Misbegotten notions while talking like this

For I am one thousand years old

One thousand years old

Sure, I'd say that's old

One thousand years old

But what do I know?

In your darkest hour, my indolent friends

We'll be one thousand years old
