When I was seventy, it was a very bad year.
It was a very bad year for old timers
and falls on the floor
My knee was so sore I needed an orthopedic knee
when I was seventy..

When I was eighty-one, it was a very bad year.
It was a very bad year for town plumbers
Who cleaned up the stairs
With all their plungers cos my bowels had gone
when I was eighty-one.

When I was ninety-five, it was a very bad year.
It was a very bad year for exercise
I fell flat on my back
Got stuck there for 1/2 a day. I came out in hives
When I was ninety-five.

But now the days are short, I'm in the
winter of the year
and now I think of my wife as mouldy
bread from five weeks ago
From the crust to the mould. She looks
wrin-k-ly
It was a very bad year.
