Paul Gordon, Adam Halpin - She Thinks I'm Old lyrics
[Paul Gordon, Adam Halpin - She Thinks I'm Old lyrics]
Somewhat amusing a semblance of style
Certainly better than many a letter
I've read in a while
But what makes me chuckle lo and behold!
She thinks I'm old and crusty, too, perhaps
And cold she thinks I'm old
A misconceit has taken hold
Good punctuation the humour is quaint
And reading her prose I suppose
Is more fun than, say
Watching the drying of paint
But, it's sort of funny
In it's own sort of way she thinks I'm grey
Why she thinks so I can't say
She thinks I'm grey
And no doubt withering away
But, I made clear my obligation
Does not include communication
A girl could lead to aggravation
Boys never question their patron's appearance
They'd never consider such gross interference
Boys are less trouble in my estimation
My appearance should mean as little to
Her as hers to me!
Is she fair or dark, fat or thin
Short or tall, I've no idea! No wish to know
What does it matter? She has a brain
That's what matters
She has a brain, and a wit
And a fearless turn of phrase
This girl deserves her chance!
Charity oh, charity
The least I can do
I've gladly lent a helping hand
To those I never knew
I have no need for thanks or praise
I humbly share my wealth
For through no effort of my own
I have so much myself
So I am duty-bound to help those with less
It gives me some peace of mind
To ease their distress
Charity that is my success
It's all that I possess
Certainly better than many a letter
I've read in a while
But what makes me chuckle lo and behold!
She thinks I'm old and crusty, too, perhaps
And cold she thinks I'm old
A misconceit has taken hold
Good punctuation the humour is quaint
And reading her prose I suppose
Is more fun than, say
Watching the drying of paint
But, it's sort of funny
In it's own sort of way she thinks I'm grey
Why she thinks so I can't say
She thinks I'm grey
And no doubt withering away
But, I made clear my obligation
Does not include communication
A girl could lead to aggravation
Boys never question their patron's appearance
They'd never consider such gross interference
Boys are less trouble in my estimation
My appearance should mean as little to
Her as hers to me!
Is she fair or dark, fat or thin
Short or tall, I've no idea! No wish to know
What does it matter? She has a brain
That's what matters
She has a brain, and a wit
And a fearless turn of phrase
This girl deserves her chance!
Charity oh, charity
