Age is catching up with me

(but I shan't let it overtake)

I went to see the doctor

He said: "How do you do?.

Kindly pull your shirt up

And I'll examine you."

 

I kindly pulled my shirt up.

His stethoscope was cold.

He said: "It doesn't sound too good.

You won't grow very old."

 

I said: "I'm more than seventy years

Old and getting fat.

There's nothing much amiss with me.

Where did I put my hat?"

 

I have a broken heart

How did they get there?

I can fix that

He said: "I haven't finished yet.

I have to see your feet."

He counted, going up to two:

"Both present, very neat."

 

"Now I have to count your teeth

Because, when you get old,

Your teeth begin to loosen up

And rattle in the cold."

 

"Please let me take your temperature.

I will just puff in your ear.

Ah yes. It is ninety-nine today.

You will live another year."

 

Please bend over

"So please come back to see me

In another year or two.

You are really very healthy.

I hope I live as long as you."

That will be Ten dollars, please.
