OLD AGE PENSION CHECK

WHEN THE OLD AGE PENSION CHECK COMES TO OUR DOOR
WE WON'T HAVE TO DREAD THE POOR HOUSE ANY MORE
THOUGH WE'RE OLD AND BENT AND GRAY
GOOD TIMES WILL BE BACK TO STAY
WHEN OUR OLD AGE PENSION CHECK COMES TO OUR DOOR

WHEN OUR OLD AGE PENSION CHECK COMES TO OUR DOOR
DEAR OLD GRANDMA WON'T BE LONESOME ANY MORE
SHE'LL BE WAITING AT THE GATE
EVERY NIGHT SHE'LL HAVE A DATE
WHEN HER OLD AGE PENSION CHECK COMES TO OUR DOOR

GROW A FLOWING LONG WHITE BEARD AND USE A CANE
CAUSE YOU'RE IN YOUR SECOND CHILDHOOD, DON'T COMPLAIN
LIFE WILL JUST BEGIN AT SIXTY
AND WE'LL ALL FEEL VERY FRISKY
WHEN OUR OLD AGE PENSION CHECK COMES TO OUR DOOR

POWDER AND PAINT WILL BE ABOLISHED ON THAT DAY
ANKLE SHIRTS WILL THEN BE BROUGHT BACK INTO PLAY
FADES CHEEKS WILL BE THE RAGE
AND OLD MAIDS WILL TELL TEIR AGE
WHEN OUR OLD AGE PENSION CHECK COMES TO OUR DOOR
