Lyrics Old Folks' Boogie - Little Feat

Old Folks' Boogie

Off our rockers, actin' crazy
With the right medication we won’t be lazy
Doin' the old folks boogie
Down on the farm
Wheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm
Paired off pacemakers with matchin' alarms
Gives us jus' one more chance
To spin one more yarn
And you know that you’re over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill
Doin' the old folks boogie
And boogie we will
'Cause to us the thought’s as good as a thrill
Back at the home
No time is your own
Facillities there, they’re all out on loan
The bank forclose, and your bankruptcy shows
And your credit creeps to an all-time low
So you know, that you’re over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill
Try and get a rise from an atrophied muscle
And the nerves in your thigh just quivers and fizzles
So you know, that you’re over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill
