ELDERLY

ELDERLY

I wasn't there said Dan

I am an innocent man

An alibi's the ticket
From Cam, who's playing cricket
Wait, I actually must confess
But did it under duress
Ben's the man to follow
His threats they are not hollow

And now we pay the price
For smoking too much ice
It's paranoid delusion
That's led to this confusion
Not so very brave
To lure Mick to his grave
It really is quite weak
And his body sure did reek
Afraid of Benny's ire
We lit the funeral pyre

All those years in jail
It makes you feel quite pale
By the time I get released
I'll be "elderly" or deceased
Couldn't have been meaner
To my poor old mama Tina
