My daughter thinks because I'm old | E |
I'm not a crock when all is said | F |
I mustn't let my feet get cold | E |
And should wear woollen socks in bed | F |

To humour her I won't contrive | D |

At four score years old age begins | I |
And not till then I warn my wife | J |

And tell the world that I'm alive | D |
Fill to the brim the bubbly cup | K |
Here's health to | L |
Seventy and five | D |
