The Lyrics
This may upset the geriatric crowd, but so be it!
Old People got more reasons
Old People got more reasons
Old People got more reasons to bitch
They got crippled hands and squinty eyes
They shuffle around with their shoes untied
They got crooked noses and loose false teeth
They wear orthopedic shoes on their nasty little feet
Well, I don't want no old people
Don't want no old people
Don't want no old people 'round here
Old People are not the same as you and I
(Oh, such a sight!)
Counting the hours & days until they die
(It's A Terminal World)
Old People got no money
Old People got no money
Old People got no money to lose
They got their hearing aids turned down so low ...
You got to scream and yell just to say hello
They got little canes that go tap, tap, tap
They got little dogs goin' "yap, yap, yap "
They got crooked little fingers and feeble little minds
They wanna' nag you all the time
Well, I don't want no old people
Don't want no old people
Don't want no old people 'round here
Old People got more reasons
Old People got more reasons to bitch
They got crippled hands and squinty eyes
They shuffle around with their shoes untied
They got crooked noses and loose false teeth
They wear orthopedic shoes on their nasty little feet
Well, I don't want no old people
Don't want no old people
Don't want no old people 'round here
Old People are not the same as you and I
(Oh, such a sight!)
Counting the hours & days until they die
(It's A Terminal World)
Old People got no money
Old People got no money
Old People got no money to lose
They got their hearing aids turned down so low ...
You got to scream and yell just to say hello
They got little canes that go tap, tap, tap
They got little dogs goin' "yap, yap, yap "
They got crooked little fingers and feeble little minds
They wanna' nag you all the time
Well, I don't want no old people
Don't want no old people
Don't want no old people 'round here

Guess I'll just have to say good-bye, then.
Clever lines! Tap tap tap/yap yap yap! And makes the same point the original did, with OTT complaints....
