When I'm Ninety-Four


When I'm Ninety-Four

TUNE: WHEN I'M SIXTY-FOUR

When I get older, losing my heath, many years from now
Will I still be counting on some Medicare,
A two-tiered system, patient beware!!

If I'm in need of emergency care, would they lock the door?
Will they still heed me, will they still treat me,
when I'm ninety-four?

I could be clever, stock up on pills, vitamins galore
Jog a mile, do a hundred push-ups, too
Eat some bran and plenty tofu.

Turn up my nose at pleasures like pie, and butter dripping scones
Will they still heed me, will they still treat me,
If I break some bones.

Send them a postcard, drop them a line, stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Else you'll find you're wasting away!

Ask for an answer, not just a form--a citizen's just due
Will they still head me (pause) will they still treat me....
When I'm a HUNDRED AND TWO!!
