"When I'm Sixty-Four"
-Lennon/McCartney

When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now,
Will you still be sending me a Valentine,
Birthday greetings bottle of wine?

If I'd been out 'til quarter to three
Would you lock the door;
Will you still need me; will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?

You'll be older too,
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.

I could be handy, mending the fuse
When your lights have gone.
You could knit a sweater by the fireside,
Sunday morning go for a ride,

Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me; will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?

Every summer we can rent a cottage,
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear;
We shall scrimp and save.
Grandchildren on your knee:
Vera, Chuck, & Dave

Send me postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view;
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away.

Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me; will you still feed me;
When I'm sixty-four?
