Old Age Pension Cheque - Roy Acuff

When our old age pension check comes to our door

We won’t have to dread the poor house anymore

Though we’re old and thin and gray

Good times will be back to stay

When our old age pension check comes to our door

When her old age pension check comes to her door

Dear old grandma won’t be lonesome any more

She’ll be waiting at the gate

Every night she’ll have a date

When her old age pension check comes to her door

Grow a flowing long white beard and use a cane

'Cause you’re in your second childhood, don’t complain

Life will just begin at sixty

We’ll all feel very frisky

When our old age pension check comes to our door

Powder and paint will be abolished on that day

And hoop skirts will then be brought back into play

Painted cheeks will be the rage

And old maids will tell their age

When their old age pension check comes to their door

All the drug stores will go bankrupt on that day

For cosmetics, they will all be put away

I’ll put a flapper on the shelf

Get a grandma for myself

When her old age pension check comes to her door

There’s a man that turned this country upside-down

With his old age pension rumor going 'round

If you want in on the fun

Send your dime to Washington

And that old age pension man will be around
