When I'm 84

Album: 0898 Beautiful South Durasi: 4:32

Queuing with the old folk

There's an old man with a wicked smile

Not through smug politeness

He's doing it in style, style

He's doing it in style, style

No savings book or flannel slacks

No "pardon" when I heard them ask

Just a Vodafone and a Filofax

When I'm 64, I'll dream on

They all bore the milkman

Stop him for hours at their front gate

He just sits and thinks

I'll make the bastard wait, wait

I'll make the bastard wait, wait

No dribbling or incontinence

No longing for the old sixpence

Just smoking weed till age make sense

When I'm 74, I'll dream on

They all save for Blackpool

Just for the cheap companionship

Meanwhile he counts pennies

For a different trip, trip

For a different trip, trip

No smoking pipes and drinking bitter

No eying up the baby sitter

I'll trip up kids and I'll drop my litter

When I'm 84, I'll dream on

When I'm 84, I'll dream on late

(I'll dream on)

You're in your nineties, Arthur

(I'll dream on and I'll whisper late)

Be careful with your back

(I'll dream on and I'll whisper late)

Exercise your muscles

(I'll dream on and I'll whisper late)

I'd rather Jack

(I'll dream on and I'll whisper late)

I'd rather Jack

(I'll dream on and I'll whisper late)

Yes, I'd rather Jack

(I'll dream on and I'll whisper late)

I'd rather Jack

(I'll dream on and I'll whisper late)

Yes, I'd rather Jack

(I'll dream on and I'll whisper late)

I'd rather Jack

(I'll dream on and I'll whisper late)

Yes, I'd rather Jack

(I'll dream on and I'll whisper late)

I'd rather Jack

(I'll dream on and I'll whisper late)
