I worked at
my job till I turned sixty five,
Then they slipped me a pink slip my time did
arrive
They said I had lost all my mental
agility
I said in this job that's no great
liability
They said I was fired
They said I was through
They called it retired
I call it the screw
Chorus:
Sing them damn, damn, pink slip blues
Them mad again, been had again pink slip
blues
I lived with my wife till I hit 84
Then she slipped me a pink slip
She showed me the door.
She said it was due to declining ability,
She said I had lost all my former
virility,
I said I was tired,
I just couldn't roll
Said all I desired was bladder control.
Chorus:
So I'm lying here now I'm just barely
alive
My pink slips in heaven it soon will
arrive
I should be obliged I mean where's the
nobility
In waiting around for a case of senility
Life's hard and it's hurtin'
Got tears in my eyes
Only one things for certain
I'll never say die, never say die
Chorus:
