GERITOL GYPSY (Peter Krug) When I get old and my head turns grey I know for sure I don't want to stay At Old Folks Hoax or Leisureville or a condo by the sea When my work is done and my kids are grown And my time at last is all my own, I know just the life I want to lead cho: I want to be a Geritol Gypsy, drive an RV ten yards long And roll on down the Interstate, just singing a highway song I want to be a Geritol Gypsy underneath the open skies I want to be a Geritol Gypsy till I die. I want to ramble round from town to town You never know where I might be found At a KOA or a roadside rest from Maine to Mexico So pump me forty gallons, bub, I want to roll with the Good Sam Club, Wherever the highway takes me, I want to go! Oh, you won't find me in a rocking chair On the old park bench, I won't be there No, I'll be sitting in the pilot house of a tin chateau on wheels In the mountain morning, in the desert night A ramblin' Grandad, doin' all right, Yes, I want to know just how the wild goose feels For so many years I've been so bored But soon I'll reach my just reward From the pension plan and the IRA and the Social Security But the long hard pull at last is done And, dammit, I'm gonna have some fun A ramblin' renegade grandpa, that'd be me. Faith Petric has recorded this and changed the gender. note: Geritol is a popular senior citizen tonic in the USA, supposed to help wit h 'iron poor blood' and give more energy @travel @aging filename[ GERGYPSY BBM Apr01 |
