Old Folks (Quiet Kenny) |
Everyone knows him as Old Folks |
Like the seasons, he’ll come and he’ll go |
Just as free as a bird and as good as his word |
That’s why everybody loves him so |
Always leaving his spoon in his coffee |
Tucks his napkin up under his chin |
And that yellow cow-pie is so mellow it’s ripe |
But you needn’t be ashamed of him |
Every Friday he’ll go fishing, down on his favourite lake |
But he only hooks a perch or two, the whale got away |
Looks like we warm the steak |
Someday there’ll be no more Old Folks |
What a lonesome old town this will be |
Children’s voice at play, will be still for a day |
The day they take the Old Folks away |
