BE NICE TO OLD PEOPLE
THEY USED TO BE YOUNG
THEY USED TO TEASE SIBLINGS
TO STICK OUT THEIR TOUNGUES
TO STAY UP PAST MIDNIGHT
TO GIGGLE, TO YELL
DON’T BELIEVE ME? JUST ASK ‘EM
THEY’VE STORIES TO TELL
BE NICE TO OLD PEOPLE
THEY USED TO GET SCARED
THEY’D HIDE IN THEIR SHEETS FROM
THE MONSTERS WHO DARED
TO MAKE FUNNY NOISES IN CLOSETS, ON STAIRS
DON’T BELIEVE ME? JUST ASK ‘EM
IF THEY GOT NIGHTMARES
BRIDGE
‘THOUGH GRANDMA GETS TIRED
AND SOMETIMES MOVES SLOW
SHE PROB’LY RAN FASTER
THAN YOU LONG AGO
SHE PROB’LY DUG EARTHWORMS
MADE HER ROOM A MESS
WALKED INTO A PARTY
WITH MUD ON HER DRESS
‘THOUGH GRANDPA GETS GRUMPY
AND SOMETIMES SEEMS HAZY
HE PROB’LY PLAYED BASEBALL, WENT SLEDDING, WENT CRAZY!
HE PROB’LY ONCE THOUGHT HIS OWN PARENTS WERE DOPEY
WAS STUBBORN, AND CARELESS AND SLOPPY AND MOPEY
BE KIND TO OLD PEOPLE
THEY SOMETIMES FORGET
THAT WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG
THEY LIKED GETTING WET!
THEY’D PLAY IN THE BATH WATER
SPLASHED EVERYWHERE
AVOIDED SHAMPOOS
LOVED TO PULL SISTER’S HAIR
BRIDGE
AND WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG
THEY WOULD GET INTO TROUBLE
NOT EAT THEIR GREEN BEANS
TURN CRACKERS TO RUBBLE
IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE BUT
I TELL YOU IT’S TRUE
THERE’S VERY FEW THINGS THAT OLD FOLKS DID NOT DO
BE KIND TO OLD PEOPLE ‘CAUSE
ONCE THEY WERE LITTLE
ROUND, ROLLY BABIES
NOT CREAKY AND BRITTLE
THEY USED TO BE KISSED FOUTY-TWO TIMES AN HOUR
AND HUGGLED, AND SNUGGLED AND CALLED “WILDFLOWER”
BRIDGE
AND WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG
THEY WOULD WISH ON A STAR
THEY’D WISH FOR A HORSE, FOR A PUPPY, A CAR
THEY’D WISH THEY WERE OLDER
BUT NOW THAT THEY’RE WISE
THEY WISH ON THE STARS
THAT THEY FIND IN YOUR EYES |
