He's the oldest guy I've seen

But he dances like a King who's found his Queen

Map of skies adowns his face, but he never, never fell from grace

That man steps on the streets once more

Screaming out:No longer my life's whore

See the smile upon his face, and you'll forget all your hardest days

Sure, his beard is bloody gray, but that's the price that he has got to pay

Not throwing a dance to anyone, he's just jogging to get his last show done

His age is just a number, it's in black on white

No pity for him, his eyes are shining bright

Let him dance right here every night and day

Down in a corner, scratching flies away

Drinking is what you should do, better listen to irish folk punk, too

I miss the sound of my old dancing shoes, oh, God, I need more of that booze

Yes, my life is full of work, I never rest, instead, I'm getting dressed

Not throwing a dance to anyone, he's just jogging to get his last show done

His age is just a number, it's in black on white

No pity for him, his eyes are shining bright

Let him dance right here every night and day

Down in a corner, scratching flies away

His age is just a number, it's in black on white

No pity for him, his eyes are shining bright

Let him dance right here every night and day

Down in a corner, scratching flies away

His age is just a number, it's in black on white

No pity for him, his eyes are shining bright

Let him dance right here every night and day

Down in a corner, scratching flies away
