“when i’m 64” (lyrics)

VERSE 1:

when i get older…losing my hair…
many years from now…
will you still be sending me a valentine?
birthday greetings…bottle of wine?

If I’d been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I’m sixty-four?

BRIDGE 1:

you’ll be older too…
and if you say the word
i could stay with you

VERSE 2:

I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I’m sixty-four?

BRIDGE 2:

every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight
If it’s not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck & Dave

VERSE 3:

send me a postcard…drop me a line…
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I’m sixty-four?
ho!
