When I'm 84 |
Queueing with the old folk |
There’s and old man with a wicked smile |
Not through smug politeness |
He’s doing it in style |
No savings book or flannel slacks |
No Pardon when I heard them ask |
Just a vodaphone and a filofax |
When I’m 64 |
I’ll dream on They all bore the milkman |
Stop him for hours at their front gate |
He just sists and thinks |
I’ll make the bastard wait |
No dribbling or incontinence |
No longing for the old sixpence |
Just smoking weed till age makes sense |
When I’m 74 |
I’ll dream on They all save for Blackpool |
Just for the cheap companionship |
Meanwhile he counts pennies |
For a different trip |
No smoking pipes and drinking bitter |
No eyeing up the baby sitter |
I’ll trip up kids and I’ll drop my litter |
When I’m 84 |
I’ll dream on When I’m 84 |
I’ll dream on late |
I’ll dream on And I’ll whisper late |
You’re in your nineties Arthur |
Be careful with your back |
Exercise your muscles |
I’d rather Jack |
I’d rather Jack |
