"Dear Son, it ain't often I write you
but I have a big problem to solve
next month I'll be sixty-eight years old
so I would not say no to some help.
but I have a big problem to solve
next month I'll be sixty-eight years old
so I would not say no to some help.
I'm up at seven in the morning
and I'm on the go till six
I'm getting tired of working
so I would not say no to some help.
and I'm on the go till six
I'm getting tired of working
so I would not say no to some help.
Inflation, money and taxes
are getting worse all the time
there's never been savings to retire on, Son
so I would not say no to some help.
are getting worse all the time
there's never been savings to retire on, Son
so I would not say no to some help.
(chorus)
So I would not say no to some help
No, I would not say no to some help
I would not say no to some help, no Son,
I would not say no to some help.
So I would not say no to some help
No, I would not say no to some help
I would not say no to some help, no Son,
I would not say no to some help.
You kids have gone and left home
and now we are left all alone
your mom's still working to pay off the house
so I would not say no to some help.
and now we are left all alone
your mom's still working to pay off the house
so I would not say no to some help.
Chorus
They system has failed us and left us
left us afraid in old age
so please, Son, stop your drinking
and get on that train and come home.
left us afraid in old age
so please, Son, stop your drinking
and get on that train and come home.
Chorus
