Getting Old

[undercovers]

Can anyone think of any songs about getting old (not counting "When i'm sixty four") - any ideas would be great. Thanks

"Just Older" by Bon Jovi (from the "Crush" album I think).

I saw the Barron Knights a couple of weeks ago and they do a song about getting old to the tune of "Windmills Of Your Mind".  It is really more of a monologue with Pete Langford reading from a book over the music.  V.Funny :-)))

Just as I pressed the SUBMIT button I remembered the classic from the 80s "Oldest Swinger In Town" by Fred Wedlock.

"Love Is All Around" Based on the performance by The Troggs
"Loving Getting Old" Parody by Dumb Ass Kid


I feel like playing bingo
And watching daytime shows
I'm loving getting old
And show my peeling toes

I smell like rotten wind
My aching back, it groans
Some people really hate it
Come on and hear them moan

You know i'm cenile
I'm deaf as well
My mind's gave up
With that cough mint smell
I carry hankies
Fisherman's friends
'Cause now I'm old
I'm not with trends

I see a youth before me
I hit him with my bag
I hate all under 16s
They all smoke dope and fags

He gave the finger to me
So I phoned up the police
He got an 8 month ASBO
Now I can live in peace

You know I hate mess
And paying bills
I tidy up
Just before my pills
I hold up queues
And I need a hand
My pension's worth
A hundred grand

I watch my western films
I go to bed at 9
I wake up really early
I look like frankenstien

Wear coats in summertime

Go to the front of lines

Because i'm 69

And all I do is whine

My nails are filled with grime

I like reporting crimes

My false teeth really shine

Ralph McTell....Growing old with Naome

[Kinsao]

Hi, fellow Ralph McTell fan! Or at least, someone who has heard of him! :-)

Tom Paxton wrote a song about getting old. I think it was called 'I was beautiful' or something like that. It was about a couple growing old together. Awwww...
