Hey, hey, we’re the Goslings, and people say we paddle around.
But we’re too busy singing, to put anybody down”.

I’m gettin’ bugged driving up and down this same old strip, I gotta finda new place where the kids are hip,

I get around, get around round round, I get around”.

When I’m 64

A little whimsy to brighten the day.

            Vera, Chuck and Dave

                                                                                                       Vera, Chuck and Dave.

When I get older losing my hair, many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I’d been out till quarter to three, would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I’m sixty-four? .
