lyrics

Gather 'round young grandkin, listen to my story
I can promise to be brief now, so please don't up and flee
Though it's less of a tail and more of a quest for thee
I need you to pick my meds up down at the pharmacy

Ill let you in on one of my various lucrative money schemes
A simple task could be complete before tomorrow's eve
You shall scale the yard most thoroughly, and rake up all the leaves
Your reward a crumples Hamilton, and a packet of sour cream

Trust me, you'll see
In the blink of an eye you too will be as old and decrepit as me

I'm afraid my body simply isn't what it used to be
Though I'm strong in Night Court trivia, I'm weaker in the knees
It's so hard to bend and clip the yellowing nails of my toesies
I'll ask my doctor why they look like their packed with cottage cheese

Trust me, you'll see
In the blink of an eye you too will be as old and decrepit as me

Gather round young grandkin, listen to my story
I can promise to be brief now, so please don't up and flee
Though it's less of a tail and more of a quest for thee
I need a ride to bingo, to quench my gambling needs

Trust me, you'll see
In the blink of an eye you too will be as old and decrepit as me
