When I'm old I'm going to take it easy  
When I'm old I won't remember anyone 
When I'm old I won't take shit from young folks 
Cause they won't know the half of what I've done 
 
Oh my dear it seems your years 
Have been of use and treated you so kindly, so kindly 
Whereas I have only stumbled through 
I've made a mess and treated you unkindly, unkindly 
 
When I'm old I'll want a sunny corner 
When I'm old I'll need a place to lie 
When I'm old I'm going to take up smoking 
cnd always keep a bottle nearby 
 
Oh my dear it seems your years 
Have been of use and treated you so kindly, so kindly 
Whereas I have only stumbled through 
I've made a mess and treated you unkindly, unkindly

When I die there'll be no trumpets sounding 
When I die there'll be no writing in the sky 
When I die there'll be no wailing chorus 
Just a sad and simple lullaby 
Just a sad and simple lullaby
