Older Than Dirt

When I was a young lad in the prime of life Never thought I'd still be around When my driver's license said, “older than dirt!” And my mind was no longer sound But I can get away with a bunch of neat stuff Rack it up to “he's left the planet!” “His mental capacity equals that of a wee child” Gonna take full advantage, run the gamut Need to pee and dribble now and then Talk in riddles and scratch my bum Wipe my boogies on my Sunday clothes And belch when company comes Know all the tricks as I giggle to myself It's a downright lead pipe cinch Con them till they put me in a old pine box Mumbling about my belly button lint
