Little Feat Old Folks Boogie Lyrics

Old Folks Boogie Lyrics

Paul Barrere, Gabriel Paul Barrere 



Off our rockers, actin' crazy 

With the right medication we won't be lazy 

Doin' the old folks boogie 

Down on the farm 

Wheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm 

Paired off pacemakers with matchin' alarms 

Gives us jus' one more chance 

To spin one more yarn 



And you know that you're over the hill 

When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill 

Doin' the old folks boogie 

And boogie we will 

'Cause to us the thought's as good as a thrill 



Back at the home, 

No time is your own, 

Facillities there, they're all out on loan 

The bank forclose, and your bankruptcy shows 

And your credit creeps to an all-time low 

So you know, that you're over the hill 

When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill 



Try and get a rise from an atrophied muscle, 

And the nerves in your thigh just quivers and fizzles 

So you know, that you're over the hill 

When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
