When You are Old and Grey - Tom Lehrer[00:00:00]

The most popular type of[00:00:00]

Popular song is of course the love song [00:00:01]

And I'd like to[00:00:04]

Illustrate several subspecies of this form during[00:00:05]

The evening [00:00:07]

First of all [00:00:07]

The type of love song where the fellow tells the girl[00:00:09]

That although the years[00:00:11]

Ahead will almost certainly destroy every[00:00:12]

Vestige of her already dubious charms [00:00:15]

That nonetheless his love[00:00:20]

For her will shine on forever through the years [00:00:22]

You know [00:00:24]

Another example of stark realism in the popular song [00:00:25]

This particular example is called[00:00:31]

When You Are Old And Grey [00:00:33]

And I'd like to dedicate[00:00:34]

It to anyone in the audience who is still[00:00:35]

In love with each other [00:00:37]

Since I still appreciate you[00:00:40]

Let's find love while we may[00:00:44]

Because I know I'll hate you[00:00:48]

When you are old and grey[00:00:51]

So say you love me here and now[00:00:55]

I'll make the most of that[00:00:58]

Say you love and trust me[00:01:02]

For I know you'll disgust me[00:01:03]

When you're old and getting fat[00:01:06]

An awful debility[00:01:13]

A lessened utility[00:01:14]

A loss of mobility[00:01:16]

Is a strong possibility[00:01:17]

In all probability[00:01:19]

I'll lose my virility[00:01:21]

And you your fertility[00:01:22]

And desirability[00:01:24]

And this liability[00:01:26]

Of total sterility[00:01:28]

Will leed to hostility[00:01:29]

And a sense of futility[00:01:31]

So let's act with agility[00:01:34]

While we still have facility[00:01:37]

For we'll soon reach senility[00:01:40]

And lose the ability[00:01:43]

Your teeth will start to go dear[00:01:48]

Your waist will start to spread[00:01:53]

In twenty years or so dear[00:01:56]

I'll wish that you were dead[00:02:00]

I'll never love you then at all[00:02:03]

The way I do today[00:02:06]

So please remember[00:02:09]

When I leave in December[00:02:11]

I told you so in May[00:02:14]
