| (Chris and Dave's part sung at the same time) |
| Chris: |
| I'm sittin' on the back porch, kickin' my legs back, rockin in my |
| rockin' |
| chair,Just sittin' there. On the little back porch it's about to fall |
| apart |
| So I think I might repair it, just as I'm thinkin about repairin' it |
| Some little friends come along with some two-string, one string |
| No string guitars (Hey Chris wanna jam?), and they plug |
| Them all into the back porch, and they sit around playing all their |
| favorite songs And kickin back, feelin' real good, real fine, real full |
| of |
| the wine |
| And everything's fine, everything's beautiful, everything's great |
| And I just feel so good, you know I'm seventy years old and |
| I'm slurpin' everything through a straw |
| Dave: |
| I'm sittin' here on the back porch just eatin' chocolate pudding |
| through a |
| straw |
| And I heated it up on a little sterno stove, tastes just like a warm |
| body |
| fluid goin' down, little players comin' 'round, pluggin' in their |
| instruments, feelin' good |
| about Themselves, singin' original songs, by the original masters |
| And I'm sittin' there on the porch, rockin' back 'n' forth in my little |
| old |
| chair |
| But I'm an old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch |
| Old man on the back porch, and that old man is me |
| Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch |
| Old man on the back porch, and that.....f/f/eb/f#/f/eb/ C |
