Bad things happen to old people.
Just me.
All songs recorded using Apple's GarageBand. Drum parts composed using Zygoat Doggiebox.
Story behind the song
I was thinking about the Bookends theme lyrics.
Lyrics
This Old Man
1. This old man, he played one,
He fell down and hurt his bum
If the x-ray shows there's not a broken bone,
This old man goes rolling home.
2. This old man, he played two,
He got sick with Asian flu,
If you get a vaccination every fall,
You won't get no flu at all.
3. This old man, he played three,
He had stool that looked like brie.
Choledochal carcinoma's what he had,
This old man will soon be dead.
4. This old man, he played four,
He spent 2 days on his floor,
With a broken hip and a nasty UTI,
This old man will surely die.
5. This old man, he played five,
Lost the use of his right side,
If the CAT scan shows no bleeding in the brain,
This old man gets TPA.
6. This old man, he played six,
Went downtown to get a fix,
But the heroin has made him comatose,
This old man has overdosed.
7. This old man, he played seven,
Cyanide's what he was given,
Now his wife's in jail and he's really short of breath,
This old man is close to death.
8. This old man, he played eight,
It burns him when he urinates,
And his underwear's a nasty shade of green,
Give this man some Rocephin.
9. This old man, he played nine,
He had Valium with his wine,
So we pumped his stomach and put him on a vent,
ICU is where he went.
10. This old man, he played ten,
Thought he had a cold, but then
He got short of breath and a temp of 104,
This old man's at heaven's door.
