mean old man stole my ball
when it bounced over his garden wall
sorry you've got it bad
all alone in your pad
watch you try to sleep
get up and have another drink
plop back on the couch
the wheel of fortune's slowing down
let me die in my sleep
so you'll be there with me
knock came at the door
bought you something from the store
don't let your food go bad
same time next week old man
lost all those you trust
your golden years are turned to dust
have a cup of tea
order a sword off QVC
let me die in my sleep
so you'll be there with me
