Are You Going to Senior Care lyrics
Saturday, October 21, 2006
Listen
Are you going to senior care:
Charley, Grace, Rosemary: it's time.
December first, we're going to live there.
Nice to be with old pals of mine.
On the side of a hill with very nice grounds
Charley, Grace, Rosemary: it's time.
Play pinochle out in the lounge
Visiting hours til half past nine.
Tell her to buy me a flannel shirt:
Green is nice and a pair of green pants.
Plaid is good cause it don't show the dirt.
It goes with the sweater I got from my aunts.
We'll listen to Simon and to Garfunkel
Back in the day that was rock and roll.
Gosh my foot hurts, I got a carbuncle,
Tell her to get me some Dr. Scholl's.
Tell her to find me a color TV
Charley, Grace, Rosemary: it's time.
The evenings will pass very quietly
We'll fall asleep after one glass of wine.

A national holiday in Lake Wobegon is always gaudy and joyful. But what is going on between Clint Bunsen and Miss Liberty?
Everyone is here—Pastor Ingqvist, the Sons of Knute, Sister Arvonne of Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility and her ocarina band, the Norwegian bachelor farmers, Dorothy and the Chatterbox Café, Wally in the Sidetrack Tap—as crowds converge on the little town to celebrate American independence, even as the chairman of the event broods on the great question of the day: Shall we struggle on valiantly here or shall we burst the bonds and find beautiful life in the golden west?
