Sixty Six - Original Composition

* Download David Keith Jones from iTunes, Amazon MP3 and other stores.
(This comic song dates from 2007 when Bob Dylan was 66 - but it's not about him.)
"Now I'm sixty six and I'm living for kicks.
I jog in whatever the weather.
I'm out on the town, my life's upside down
And my wife's at the end of her tether.

I'm stringing along but I seldom belong
And these days you don't know much about me
But though I'm a cad you would not call me bad
'Cos it's never the same place without me.

Now I'm sixty six so I'm learning new tricks
And I'm turning my hand to composing.
Though my singing is flat and the lyrics are tat
And my musical skills not imposing.

On the job front I try, though it's hard to deny
That my projects are some way from gelling,
I attend my review yet successes are few
Since my efforts are far from compelling.

Now I'm sixty six and I'm living for kicks
And showing the devil inside me.
My pension is spent and I can't pay the rent
And our neighbours and friends just deride me.

Although full of pluck I'm down on me luck
And my world is collapsing about me.
But though bit of a lad, yet still I'm a dad
And my tribe would be sad here without me."

You are generous - thanks Anna. It's a London-South Eastern accent prompted by memories of Peter Sellers who did this sort of thing on radio and records.
