Little Feat Old Folks Boogy Lyrics

Old Folks Boogy Lyrics

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
