Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again Teacher gets annoyed Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away So he waits behind Writing fifty times, "I must not be so, ho-ho, ho" But when she turns her back on the boy He creeps up from behind

Now when I get older Losing my hair Many years from now Will you still be sending me a Valentine? Birthday greeting, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out 'Til quarter to three Would you lock the door? Oh, will you still need me Will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four?
You'll be older too, jealous? (And if you say the word I could stay with you)
Believe me, I could be handy Mending a fuse When your lights have gone You can knit a sweater by the fireside Sunday morning, go for a ride
Doin' the garden Diggin' the weeds Who could ask for more? (Who indeed?) Will you still need me Will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four?
