Old Folks Boogie

 

Off their rockers

Acting crazy

And with the right medication

They won’t be lazy

 

Old Folks Boogie

Down on the farm

Wheel chairs, they’re locked

Arm in arm

Pair of pacemakers with matching alarms

Gives them just 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

Old Folks Boogie

And Boogie they will

‘Cause to them the thought’s as good as a thrill

 

Back at the home, time is never their own

The bathrooms locked, no they can’t go alone

The pills are stacked but the bedpans on loan

They’ll just sit there and smile

‘Cause at least they get stoned

 

Off their rockers

Acting crazy

With the right medication, they won’t be lazy

And you know that you’re over the hill

When your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill

Old Folks Boogie

And Boogie they will

Cause to them, the thought’s just as good as the thrill
