When You Are Old And Grey Lyrics - Revisited - Tom Lehrer

Since I still appreciate you, 

let's find love while we may. 

Because I know I'll hate you, 

when you are old and gray. 

So say you love me here and now, 

I'll make the most of that: 

Say you love and trust me, 

for I know you'll disgust me 

when you're old and getting fat. 

An awful debility, 

a lessened utility, 

a loss of mobility, 

is a strong possibility. 

In all probability, 

I'll lose my virility 

and you your fertility 

and desirability. 

And this liability 

of total sterility 

will lead to hostility 

and a sense of futility. 

So let's act with agility, 

while we still have facility, 

for we'll soon reach senility, 

and lose the ability. 

Your teeth will start to go, dear, 

your waist will start to spread. 

In twenty years or so, dear, 

I'll wish that you were dead. 

I'll never love you then at all 

the way I do today; 

so please remember, 

when I leave in December, 

I told you so in May.
