I Hope That I Get Old Before I Die


            Sometimes I feel like being wispy
            And once in a while I feel like being dry
            But we're doomed and we're drowned
            By this feeling we surround
            So I hope that I get old before I die

            Ohhhhh
            It's a long, long rope they use to hang you soon I hope
            And I wonder why this hasn't happened
            Why, why, why
            And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt
            And I hope that I get old before I die

            Clear off the kitchen table darling
            For on the kitchen table I must lie
            I'm just tired for my wife
            Served the banquet of my life
            And I hope that I get old before I die

            Ohhhhh
            It's a long, long rope they use to hang you soon I hope
            And I wonder why this hasn't happened
            Why, why, why
            And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt
            And I hope that I get old before I die
            
            Ohhhhh
            It's a long, long rope they use to hang you soon I hope
            And I wonder why this hasn't happened
            Why, why, why
            And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt
            And I hope that I get old before I die
