Old Folks

Back at the home oh what a sight the old folks are partying most every night
Wheelchairs and canes come a-rolling in but something happens when the music begins
Up on the dance floor their light on their feet you’d think they'd move slow but they don't miss a beat
Chorus
Hey the old folks are dancin' in the hall tonight
Hey if you gotta get old you better go down with a fight

Big band's jammin' the torch singer swoons the compound is jumping' from midnight till two
Tango and waltz, jitterbug too there’s no dance step the old folks can't do
Try as I might I can't get in you gotta be at least a septuagenarian
- to Chorus

Sleep all day get ready by eight dinner and drinks is all that it takes
The record collection you can’t believe everyone from Jolson to Della Reese
When the first record spins to when the last record ends
The old folks are acting young again - to chorus
