Old Folks' Boogie by Little Feat

Off our rockers, actin' crazy
And 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 just one more chance
To spin one more yarn

And you know that you're over the hill
Mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
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
Facilities there, they're all out on loan
The bank foreclose and your bankruptcy shows
And your credit creeps to an all-time low

And 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
