One Foot In The Grave

Eric Idle

(Opening theme):



They say I might as well face the truth.

That I'm just too long in the tooth.

Oh I'm an O.A.P. and weak-kneed

But I have not yet quite gone to seed.



I may be over the hill now that I have retired.

Fading away but I'm not yet expired.

Clapped out, rundown, too old to save

One foot in the grave.



(Closing theme):



They say I might as well face the truth.

That I'm just too long in the tooth.

I've started to deteriorate

And now I've passed my own sell-by date.



Oh I am no spring chicken it's true.

I have to pop my teeth in to chew.

And my old knees have started to knock.

I've just got too many miles on the clock.



So I'm a wrinkly, crinkly, set in my ways.

It's true my body as seen better days.

But give me half a chance and I can still misbehave.

One foot in the grave.

One foot in the grave.

One foot in the grave.
