70, Girls, 70 - A New Musical: Old Folks

December 15, 1900!
July 29, 1986!
October 9, 1895!
May 16, 1892!
Hit it Lorraine!
Old folks sit around by the television set
with a comforter, petulant as they can get.
Always grumbling, " Is the cocoa ready yet?"
Sad, but true folks, that's what they do folks!
Old folks don't go out,
strangers make them ill at ease,
old folks stay at home, nursing their infirmities
Put the saucer down, time to feed the siamese!
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty!
And someday, when I'm a little bit older,
it's conceivable I may, be that way too!
Old folks letch a lot, though it doesn't mean a thing
Yawn and stretch a lot, rolling on an inner spring
Cough and kvetch a lot, sighing one perpetual sigh!
Go take a look at the old folks
They're quite an interesting sight
But if you want to see old folks, you're in the wrong hall tonight!
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
And someday, when I'm a little bit older,
it's conceivable I may be that way too!
Old folks rock a lot, cracking on an upper plate
Interlock a lot, when they want to navigate
Watch the clock a lot, moaning as the minutes go by!
Go take a look at the old folks, they're quite an interesting sight
But if you want to see old folks, you're in the wrong place
Go call an usher!
You followed the wrong cue!
We're very sorry!
You've got the wrong group!
Go get a refund!
You're in the wrong hall, tonight!
