Old Man
Parody of "Soul Man" by Sam & Dave
(Genesis 5:27, 2 Corinthians 4:16)

Now Methus'lah was a crusty bloke
Kept truckin' until the flood broke
And if you're thinkin' it's not floodin'
Well, don't worry; your time's comin'

I'm an old man - I'm an old man
I'm an old man - I'm an old man

My one eye's shot -- my hair's gray
But my faith gets better each and every day
So what if - the doctor said
"If you eat meat - nothing red!"

I'm an old man - owwww
I'm an old man (It's plain to see)
I'm an old man - I'm an old man

Was brought up on the fried meats
Now I look at a label before I can eat
I take medication and shouldn't stop
When I start runnin' - I just might drop

I'm an old man - I'm an old man
I'm an old man - I'm an old man

So glad to know
That I'm born again
It gives me hope
At each doctor's appointment
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)

I'm an old man - I'm an old man
You're an old man - Hah! -- I'm an old man
I'm an old man - I'm an old man
Hah! Hah!

2 Corinthians 4:16
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet
inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
