The Axis Of Awesome - Song For The Elderly lyrics

The old man sits on a chair in my lounge room His face has seen years, His eyes have shed tears He's been through a lifetime, His friends have all gone He waits in his chair as I walk down the stair He look up at me and his face forms a smile His eyes fill with life as he notices me His body is ancient, yet he looks so happy He opens his mouth and greets me with glee I look at the old man, I smile politely I shake his leathery hand He gets to his to feet and I look in his eye I open my mouth and address the old man How did you get in my house, old man I don't know who you are You seem like a very sweet, nice, old man But I don't know who you are The old man laughs and calls me Tobias He thinks it's a game when I say my real name He asks how my wife is and how are my children I tell him I'm single, He laughs it away He walks to the kitchen and he puts on the kettle He asks me if I want some tea I tell him okay and the water starts boiling He fills up my cup and hands it to me I'm sorry but that isn't milk, old man I still don't know who you are You've put mayonnaise in my tea old man And I don't know who you are The old man stops, I think I've upset him His smile disappears, His eyes fill with tears He puts down the teacup, looks up at me slowly And says "Dear Toby, I Hate those Japs." I wander upstairs and I fetch some trousers He puts them on in the usual way He tells me that he doesn't know where he's going I say there's a room and that he can stay You can live in my house old man I don't care who you are You're pretty racist but funny old man And I quite like who you are Yes I quite like who you are.
