When I am an old lady,
I'll live with my kids,
And make them so happy,
Just as they did������
I want to pay back
all the joy they've provided,
returning each deed,
Oh, they'll be so excited.
(when I'm an old lady
and live with my kids)
I'll write on the wall
with reds, whites and blues,
and bounce on the
furniture wearing my shoes.
I'll drink from the carton
and then leave it out.
I'll stuff all the toilets,
and oh, how they'll shout.
(When I'm an old lady
and live with my kids)
When they're on the phone
and just out of reach,
I'll get into things
like sugar and bleach,
Oh, they'll snap their fingers
and then shake their head
and when that is done
I'll hide under the bed
(When I'm an old lady
and live with my kids)
When they cook dinner
and call me to meals,
I'll not eat my green beans
or salads congealed.
I'll gag on my okra,
spill milk on the table
and when they get angry,
run fast as I'm able.
(When I'm an old lady
and live with my kids)
I'll sit close to the TV,
thru the channels I'll click,
I'll cross both my eyes
to see if they stick.
I'll take off my socks
and throw one away,
and play in the mud
until the end of the day.
(When I'm an old lady
and live with my kids)
And later in bed,
I'll lay back and sigh,
and thank God in prayer
and then close my eyes
and my kids will look down
with a smile slowly creeping,
and say with a groan.
"She's so sweet when she's sleeping."
