As I sat out on my rocker
And watch the children play
With roller blades and skate boards
On such a sunny day

How they all can do it
And have energy to spare
My strength is used up quickly
To move this rocking chair

Their legs are just like rubber
And they seem to have no cares
With screams of joy and happiness
And all with happy stares

They run and play and dance and skip
A pleasure for my eyes
But just to have my youth again
Is in my thoughts and sighs

So I think, that this is just not fair
I will build an electric rocking chair
Then these little kids will turn
And they at me will stare
