Verse 1
G
You are old, Father William,
the young man said,
and your hair has become very white,
and yet you incessantly
stand on your head.
Do you think at your age it is right?

In my youth,

G
Father William replied to his son,
I feared it might injure the brain,
but now that I am perfectly sure I have none,
F
G
why, I do it again and again.
You are old, said the youth,
as I mentioned before,
and have grown most uncommonly fat,

G
I kept all my limbs very supple
by the use of this ointment.
Once shilling the box,
allow me to sell you a couple.
You are old, said the youth,
and your jaws are too weak
for anything tougher than suet.
Yet you finished the goose
with the bones and beak.
F
Pray, how did you manage to

G

and argued each case

I have answered three questions,
and that is enough,
said his father.
Don't give yourself airs.
Do you think I can listen all day
to such stuff?
Be off, or I'll kick you downstairs.
