Subject: Lyr Add: SENILE DELINQUENT (M Wootton, A Taylor)
Now I'm a senile delinquent -
I'm seventy if I'm a day,
Buy I don't see why all you youngsters
Should have everything your own way:
'Cos I can turn on with a glass of shandy,
And I think Victor Sylvester is wild,
I've decided to opt out, me teeth have all dropped out,
I'm an aged delinquent child -

Chorus:
Oh yeah (go go, go man go)
Oh yeah (go go, go man go)
Oh yeah (go go, go man go)
Oh yeah (go go, go man go)
Oh yeah (uh huh huh)
Oh yeah (uh huh huh)
Oh yeah.

With the Grandmas I'm always a knockout -
When they see me they all start to drool:
I'm the senior citizens' Steve McQueen,
I'm the pensioners' Peter O'Toole -
"Cos me long hair hangs down to me muffler,
And me sideboards reach down to me chin,
Oh me bottoms are flared, and I'm always prepared
When the fun and the games begin -

Chorus

I've got knives on the wheels of me bath-chair,
And I think that you'd best start to run,
'Cos I can mow down the ladies and the kids by the score,
I'm worse than Attila the Hun!
And me walkin' stick's always a menace,
'Cos I've got such a delicate touch:
Well I'm still hail and hearty and I'm learnin' Karate,
I'm a dab hand with me crutch -

Chorus

Well It's hard being toothless and horrid,
But it's fun when your candle burns low,
And though I can't move as quick as I could,
I manage to keep on the go -
'Cos I'm joinin' a new gang tomorrow,
We're gonna paint the town red,
And all the has-been-agers will beat up the teenagers
And go back home to cocoa in bed -

Chorus
