Little Feat - Old Folks Boogie Lyrics
Paul Barrere, Gabriel Paul BarrereOff our rockers, actin' crazyWith the right medication we won't be lazyDoin' the old folks boogieDown on the farmWheelchairs, they was locked arm in armPaired off pacemakers with matchin' alarmsGives us jus' one more chanceTo spin one more yarnAnd you know that you're over the hillWhen your mind makes a promise that your body can't fillDoin' the old folks boogieAnd boogie we will'Cause to us the thought's as good as a thrillBack at the home,No time is your own,Facillities there, they're all out on loanThe bank forclose, and your bankruptcy showsAnd your credit creeps to an all-time lowSo you know, that you're over the hillWhen your mind makes a promise that your body can't fillTry and get a rise from an atrophied muscle,And the nerves in your thigh just quivers and fizzlesSo you know, that you're over the hillWhen your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
