lyrics

when I get older
I will talk about the weather
as I pet my irish setter
and write lots of letters
and I will wear my wrinkles
in pride my eyes will twinkle
in stride under sprinkles
of the NW rain

and we can bitch
about the kids these days
with their slang and their fads
and their weirdo ways
and all the technologies
that we cease to understand
and gripe about all our food
tasting bland

and when I get older
I hope my sex life doesn't smolder
and I still get my lady boner
I mean that metaphorically
cause things dont seem as depressing
when youre naked and undressing
and your hair is getting messy
even if youre 63

and we can play videogames
in our rocking chairs
and not worry about splitting hairs
cause some of us wont have anymore
and that will be okay
cause well all be saggy, old
and gross anyways

and well have old people problems
like bedsores on our bottoms
but we can still make it awesome
with a little humor and ingenuity

and we can play connect the dots
with all our bodys liver spots
and laugh so much until we cough
and have to go to the emergency room
and we can take our medications
on our retiree vacations
and discuss all of our life lessons
which will have abounded
by the end of our twilight years

and we can reminisce
about the power rangers,
the 90s, hulkamania,
and our teenage anger,
blast nirvana for nostalgia,
go to Metamucil keggers

and when I get older
and my coroner
shuts my folder
ill have my gravestone
special ordered
to say she really liked to loiter
and when I die
ill wake up
to the mystery
behind this mortal muck
and hopefully it will not suck
and my consciousness will just transcend into the ineffable infinity of the metaphysical universe...
