Lyrics
What's an old man
Got to smile about laff about
Ain't nothing funny anyway
What's an old man
Got to beg about kneel about
You know he doesn't even pray
What's an old man
Got to yell about scream about
You know he wanted it this way
What's an old man
Got to live about die about
Why don't he just go away
He knows exactly what the facts is
He pays his government taxes
What's an old man
Got to think about drink about
When he's got no booze
What's an old man
Got to sing about dance about
When he's got the blues
When an old man
Says he's had enough given up
Now he's on the edge
When an old man
Got nothing to die for
He go on living instead
He knows exactly what the facts is
He knows what party to the max is
You know he cuddle like a cactus
And on sunday he relaxes
You know an old man
Ought to give it up pack it in
Before he gets out of line
You know an old man
Gonna shut it off break it down
Before he runs out of time
What's an old man
Got to toss about turn about
Lay in bed all day
Once an old man
He apologise caught in lies
And she didn't even stay
He pays his government taxes
He knows what party to the max is
He knows what party to the max is
