Life In An Old Folks Home

Life in an old folks home 7x16b blues country ballad

V1. Every day, Wake up to play
With new old friends From yesterday
Happy Larry, Mary Jane
All aboard The Crazy Train
Mmmm... life in an old folks home
Mmmm... life in an old folks home

V2. Exercises, Painting classes
Crossword puzzles, Passing gasses
Read our books, Watch TV
Talk about how things Used to be
Mmmm... life in an old folks home
Mmmm... life in an old folks home

V3. Under lock, Under key
No more freedom, For them or me
Nurse is scared if we Escape and die
They lose their job, Well my oh my...
Mmmm... life in an old folks home
Mmmm... life in an old folks home

Neutralising Our attitude
Sedated through The day and night
Wish they'd once Turn off the light
Mmmm... life in an old folks home
Mmmm... life in an old folks home

V5. Happy Larry, Ticks me off
He can't stand My constant cough
Wishes to God That I'd shut up
He'll get his wish Soon enough...
Mmmm... life in an old folks home
Mmmm... life in an old folks home

V6. Then comes the day We up and die
No time to friends To say goodbye
And my nurses warm Must now turn cold
As they clear my room For the next poor soul
Mmmm... life in an old folks home
Mmmm... life in an old folks home

V7. Maybe I'm cynical, Maybe a grinch
One thing I know Life don't give you an inch
Love every day, Take what you can
Love those who love you, Live while you can
Mmmm... life in an old folks home
Mmmm... life in an old folks home
