Lyrics
This Old Man
copyright 2004, Kristin Kitko
VERSE:
This old man, he played dumb:
Treat his old lady like chewin' gum.
This old man, he played cruel:
Spit her out when he was through.
PRE-CHORUS:
I played one; it ain't much fun
I played two, baby--me and you,
But when I played three, I got what I deserved
CHORUS
Cuz she wasn't some nick-nack paddy-wack
I shouldn'ta buried that
Love like a doggy bone;
I gotta get my baby back--
Aw, let me come rollin' home.
VERSE:
This old man, he says, "Please."
Not on one, but both his knees.
This old man's got no pride:
He'll sing a sorry nick-nack 'til he dies
PRE-CHORUS
I played one; it ain't much fun;
I played two, baby--me and you,
But when I played three, I got what was comin' to me:
CHORUS
SOLO
PRE-CHORUS
I played one; it ain't much fun;
I played two, baby--me and you;
But when I played three, I found my clothes and me on the lawn--
CHORUS...
