Old Folks Boogie Lyrics

B7 sliding up to C7. They play the B7 as x212xx sliding up to C7 as x323xx.
Off our rockers, actin' crazy
And with the right medication we won't be lazy
Old folks boogie, down on the farm
Wheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm
Paired off pacemakers with matchin' alarms
Gives us just one more chance to spin one more yarn
And you know that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
Old folks boogie, and boogie we will
'Cause to us the thought's as good as a thrill
Back at the home, no time is your own,
Facillities there, well they're all out on loan
The bank forclose, and your bankruptcy shows
And your credit creeps to an all-time low
So you know, that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
Instrumental break
C7 | % | F7 | % |
C7 | % | % | % |
C7 | % | F7 | G7 |
Try and get a rise from an atrophied muscle,
And the nerves in your thigh just quivers and fizzles
So you know, that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
