What's Up, Old Boy
Your life must have changed, I wonder
It's not like it used to be, I guess
It is much better now, I hope
You are yourself again, the best
My life is still the same, you bet
Although some things have changed; a few
For better and for worse, it depends
But I keep holding on, still
Your kids are older now, I'm sure
Your love is unconditional, no doubt
Your happiness will last for good
There's nothing to be worried about
My kids are doing great, thank goodness
I live my life for them, you know
They grow so fast and get so smart
That scares me a little bit; I'm old
You haven't quit your job, have you?
You're great at what you do, it's true
How awesome it would be, I wonder
If you could make some money too
My job is still the same, you know
It's hard and badly paid, I mean
But when somebody asks, I say
I may be poor, but I am clean
What's happened to your pet, I wonder?
That annoying barking mammal you had
Have you changed your mind and donated him?
Or do you both still share the bed?
I still have my kitty cat, remember?
A little bit older and full of bad habits
Nowadays, she purrs so loud that
I’ve been thinking about a replacement... Rabbits?
I know we’re old and full of ****
But we could meet someday again
We’d chat a lot, it would be fun
As long as we don’t speak of pain
