Come Together- At One Hundred Two

Here come old grandpa 
He come movin' up slowly 
He got, big-a-belly 
He got, roley-poley 
He got, hair...on his ears
 
He got to be a grandpa he lived so many years 

He drink- no more, moonshine 
He got, gout toeitus 
He got, monkey back 
He shoot, insulin 
He say, I don't... remember you

One thing he should know is that he's one hundred and two
 
He lacks production 
He got, two sets of dentures 
He got, always sidetrack 
He got, soup and crackers 
He got, gout, down...on his feet 
Sitting in his wheelchair he's got old-age disease
 
Does he remember, right now- he's one hundred and two 

He can't use a toaster 
He got, cold- needs a warming 
He got, dementia 
He lost, mojo filter 
He say, one and one and one is four 
Got to be dementia 'cause he can't add anymore
 
Does he remember, right now, he's one hundred and two
