Old Folks Boogie Lyrics

Song by Little Feat
Lyrics

… Off our rockers, actin' crazy
With the right medication we won't be lazy
Doin' the old folks boogie
Down on the farm
Wheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm
Paired off pacemakers with matchin' alarms
Gives us jus' 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
Doin' the old folks boogie
And boogie we will
'Cause to us the thought's as good as a thrill
Back at the home,
No time is your own,
Facillities there, they're all out on loan
The bank forclose, and your bankruptcy shows
And your credit creeps to an all-time low
So you know, that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
Try and get a rise from an atrophied muscle,
And the nerves in your thigh just quivers and fizzles
So you know, that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill

1. The best band most people have never heard of.

Two degrees in Rebop, a PhD in Swing, he's the Master of Rhythm, he's the Rock 'n Roll King

2. OK, back in the day I was a good foosball player.

Placed high or won tournaments. Recently I played some foos and my Son-in-law kicked my ass. He is not a 'player' and I should have beat him into submission.

I let my alligator mouth override my now tweetybird ass.

Have already demanded a rematch and now practicing. I have to remove this stain from my life. haha
