Where have all the old folks gone, br I don't see them anymore br Their either tending to their gardens br Or painting their front door br br Gone are their books because now they've found br Laptops and computers, br And instead of the old walking stick br They use their mobile scooters. br br Like stirling moss they rush around br I just don't understand, br Because years ago the old were old br Needing a helping hand. br br They seem to be much younger, br They've held on to their youth. br Gone are the days when they smiled br You'd see one old decaying tooth. br br They turn up in their trainers br And in marathons take part. br Years ago this would have stopped br An old persons heart. br br They rush about, and even dance br Or sing a merry tune. br It's as though they are reliving br That film they call cocoon. br br They make me feel so tired br Going through life so strong and bold, br But i think my real reason for this br Is that i feel so old. br br So good luck to the old folk br I really admire them, br And i just can't wait to reach their age br So i'll feel young again.br br wendy.
