Lyrics

This Old Man

Every night's the same at the embassy
Sip your dinner wine or play the mystery
He's the grand old man you're just 25
You're his ornament around party time

Tell me what goes on at night
Does he watch and take delight
Do you open like a fan
In the hands of this old man

Was it this old man that you wanted when
When you were a girl in your own playpen
When he runs his hands through your silky hair
Is it him you want or don't you care

He's a vampire gent his hair is standing straight
When he looks at you he sees a veal cutlet
You're a tasty pawn in his own chess game
You're his tulip glass of human pink champagne

Tell me what goes on at night
By the burning bedside light
Do you open like a fan
In the hands of this old man

Was it this old man that you wanted when
When you were a girl in your own playpen
When he runs his hands through your silky hair
Is it him you want or don't you care

Go ahead, dance with him.
