Never been senile, that's where you're wrong (uh-huh)
But give the man a taste and he's gone
Noddin' off, sleep to a jazz tune
I can hear his head banging on the wall in the next room
I get the pillow and hope I don't wake him (yeah)
For this man to cuss, hear it all in verbatim (uh-huh)
Telling me how to raise my boy unless he's taking over
I said, "Pop maybe when you're older" (older)
We laughed all night about the hookers at the party (ahh)
My old man standing yelling, "Good God, Almighty" (uh-huh)
Use your condom, take sips of the brew (that's right)
