Power to old people (oh hey, hey)
Power to old people (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Body’s breakin’ down and aching (hey)
So the doc just gives me tablets (oh)
Take one for this and that and I’ll rattle around
With the bedpan by my side and the stick to get me round.
They say I’m not old
I’m not giving in

The light blurs like diamonds
My cat’racts are old
Hold me tight, hold me close, with one stick I can never walk alone

I’m older than the universe, don’t you know
Dancing since the dawn of time, and don’t you know
A pensioner of the universe

Power to old people (oh hey hey)
Power to old people (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Power to old people (oh, hey, hey)
I want Downton on, and we want it on by eight

And they say I should Sky Plus it (hey, hey)
Everytime I want to see it (oh)
Strictly, Downton, Bake Off, it’s all on too late. The new kids on the block, don’t know they’ve got the tech all made
They know how to use it,
I’m stuck in the past

I’m older than the universe, don’t you know
Too old for technology, and tho I still own
The tech that’s no real good to me

The light blurs like diamonds
My shit’s in free flow
I now have a frame, but hold me close ‘cos I’ll never walk alone
The iPad they got me, I don’t have a clue
Two hearing aids and subtitles on, I watch Strictly on my own

I’m older than the uni, pensioner of the uni
Pensioner of the universe, what’s that dear?
Yeah I remember the cold war, and it was long ago
‘Cause I feel older than the universe
A pensioner of the universe

Power to old people!
