Say What?


I'm not senile no sir I aint
I'm minding my business and act like a saint
I forget now and them no problem for me
I don't want to remember orders given you see.

Do this, do that, go here or there
I just say WHAT? watch them pull out their hair
Makes me laugh when they look all confused
I tell em, hey look!  I'm worn out and used.

They call me old but I don't care
And I may be wrinkled and have grey hair
But if I act dumb they won't expect much
And I play it up, use em all as a crutch.

Bet they won't want me to do anything at all
Because I act stupid and having a ball
It isn't too hard to be senile don't fear
Just keep saying WHAT? like you just can't hear.
