Well, if you are going to have the chorus I might as well give you the verses.

It's nice to sit down when you're 94
Down by the kitchen fire
And think of the things you used to have
And the girls that you admired
But a farmer's life's a healthy life
And I feel as good as new
And I bet a bob you'll be surprised
At what I'll tell to you

Cho.
I'm 94 this morning
Aye, I'm 94 today
I'm not so young as I used to be
For I'm getting old and gray
But my heart is young
And I'm fond of fun
And I'm very proud to say
I'm getting married on Thursday, though
I'm 94 today.

You know down in the village
It will be a big surprise
The people'll think it's all a joke
The minister's telling lies
But we will get the laugh of them
As sure as I'm alive
For there'll maybe be a christenin' yet
Before I'm 95

Cho.

There is also a whole patter before the last chorus where the old guy talks about his sons Donald, Peter and Alec (Wee 'Ec).
