|
In my time |
|
I've been a few places, |
|
And I've many a story to tell. |
|
Here I am still as strong |
|
As I've been all along, |
|
I'm not ready for heaven or hell. |
|
There are people who do need reminding, |
|
That I'm still the boss around here. |
|
I still call every shot, |
|
And I'll tell you what's what, |
|
And what's not, do |
|
I make myself clear. |
|
I'm not ready to roll over |
|
I'm still, the daddy of the all, |
|
I'm still the top banana, |
|
They still answer when |
|
I call.I'm older, yes, but |
|
I'm wiser, |
|
And they better not forget, |
|
I'm not ready to roll over' |
|
Cos there's life in the old dog yet. |
|
You can't put an old head on young shoulders |
|
My advice is the best |
|
I can give |
|
Let them make their mistakes; |
|
Let them fight for their rights; |
|
Let them learn how to love and to live. |
|
I've only got the one daughter, |
|
Time she married a man of her own, |
|
And the one |
|
I have planned |
|
Has got plenty of land, |
|
She'll be grand, and |
|
I'll stand all alone. |
|
I'm not ready to roll over |
|
I'm still, the daddy of the all, |
|
I'm still the top banana, |
|
They still answer when |
|
I call.I'm older, yes, but |
|
I'm wiser, |
|
And they better not forget, |
|
I'm not ready to roll over' |
|
Cos there's life in the old dog yet. |
|
I'm not ready to roll over |
|
I'm still, the daddy of the all, |

|
I'm wiser, |
|

|
Cos there's life in this old dog yet. |
