Thread Name: Lyr Req: Grandpa's Getting Younger Every Day
Subject: RE: "Grandpa's getting younger everyday"
May be this one? (gosh, 1997, So long ago?)
When I was 87, they took me from my coffin
Found a flannel nightshirt for me to travel off in
All innocent and toothless I laid there in my bed
Trailing clouds of glory, from the time that I was dead
And at the age of 65, put paid to my enjoyment
I had to get a bowler hat to go to my employment
And at the age of 60, I found I had a wife
So that explains the children, I've wondered all my life
I kept getting younger, and randier and stronger
And at the age of 21 I had a wife no longer
With mini-skirted milkmaids, I frolicked in the clover
The cuckoo kept on calling me, and then my teens were over
Then it was algebra and cricket, and sausages a-cooking
Puffing at a cigarette when teacher wasn't looking
The trees are getting taller and the streets are getting wider
My mother, she's the world to me and soon I'll be inside her
But now it is too early, for me to clearly see
Before the world or after, where ever can I be?
authors name anyone?
