Old Man Blues
(Grass, Worofka) Listen
You’re hair has gone gray and before you can say knife
you’re called to be passé, and pension funds ads arrive.
And you’re an old man, and you’re an old man.
But you’re an old man only if your mind has gone gray, too.

In fact, you’re still the king, just the others have gone mad.
You dress the latest thing but the young girls call you dad.
And you’re an old man...

All right, you’re memory lacks and your backache ain’t no fun.
Viagra helps your sex, the Hoochie Coochie Man is gone.

Really, we don’t wanna picture the day when the insurance
company stops paying for those bloody pills.


When you’re an old man...

Your teeth ain’t not your own. Well, be careful what you do.
Rheumatism in ev’ry bone, sometimes you find a screw.
  When you’re an old man...

Can’t do the things you once used to do.
    A home for the aged is right the place for you...
          When you’re an old man...

But you’re an old man only...
But you’re an old man only...
But you’re an old man only
if your mind has gone gray, too.
