My joints have been tightened
by life's monkey wrench
says the wheezing geezer
collapsed on a park bench
My head might be swimming
but l won’t run out of strokes
just as long as you’re here
to laugh at my jokes

ReplyDeleteMy bubala is a retired architect and I only wish
his advanced lessons on banjo included
learning this song.
Unfortunately, his singing voice
is why there is a law about
justifiable homicide.
Where can I get a recording of this song?
You used the word "Unfortunately" and I will do the same:
ReplyDeleteGeezer Jack sent me these lyrics less than ten minutes
before I posted them...My friend since grade school
has given me carte blanche on blogging
anything related to his musical compositions
Unfortunately, geezerhood is a license to forget
such trivia as "permissions granted."
The song has two more verses
and they might soon be posted,
if permission is granted to do so.
