Grandad’s Lament for lost youth

Grandad’s Lament for lost youth – With Apologies to Frank Sinatra and Clive Dunn

You make me feel so old
You make me feel so tired and cold
And whenever you phone,
I’m such a happy individual.
The moment that you speak,
My hearing is up the creek.
I’d love to sing a tune,
And still have the lady’s swoon
But you make me feel so old

You think I,
Am just a silly old clot,
Standing on the landing,
Wondering what I think I’ve forgot.

You make me feel so old,
You make me feel so tired and cold
My head’s going bald
And all of my jokes have been told
And now I’m old and grey
The only thing I need to say to you
Is that you make me feel so old

Now I’m just a weary old pensioner
Looking for a new love, best not to mention her
The moment that you speak
My hearing goes up the creek

They’re moving me to a home
No longer safe to live on my own.
My bells have been rung
And all my wonderful flings have been flung
And now I’m old and grey
The only thing that’s left to say
Is, you make me feel so old

You think I,
Am such a silly old clot.
Standing on the landing
Wondering what I think I’ve forgot

You make me feel so old
You make me feel so tired and cold
My heads going bald
And all of my jokes have been told
Yes, you make me feel so old
You make me feel so old
Ooh you make me feel so old.

Grand-dad,
Grand-dad you’re grumpy,
Grand-dad,
Grand-dad you’re grumpy
