Over in the bed lies your
sleepin' wife
Snorin' like a sailor,

You wake up in the mornin' and
look in to the abyss

D 
It's a fight to the finish
It's a flackin' and a fray
Got a brand new song and I sing it everyday
G 
I got a new smell and it's
called "The Old Man"
D 
A new taste sensation,
I'd say it was bland
G

But that senior discount,
that's my kind of treat
G 
But when I get on the bus,
G 
you got to give me a seat
D 

Verse 5

Come on baby

The woods are on fire,

Read your business section,
up there on your throne

Verse 8
D 
You got a brand new dance,
you gotta get you some work
It's a little like the Monkey,
and a lot like the Jerk
G 
The Chicken and the Pony and
the Frug and the Swap
D 
It's a brand new dance,
and you wish it would stop
A 
You'd rather be a workin' stiff,
than a lazy slob
G 
G 
Sha Na Na don't get you no job
D 

Verse 9
Hey hallelujah it's election time
Vote in a booth for the big boss line
G 
But it's the same old song,
same old dance
D 
Same long shot at the same slim chance,
yeah
A 
One of those fools is bound to win
G 
But it's the same old, same old,
all over again
D 

Verse 10
