[Intro 1]
[G][Dm][F][C][Am][Dm]
[D][G][Dm][F][C][Am][Dm]
[D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Where did the lead in my [F]pencil [C]go?
Who [Am]stole [Dm]the [D]plonker from m[G]y banjo?
Tell me please [Dm]'cos [F]I really gotta [C]know
Who [Am]broke [D]the string on my
[G]yo- yo?
[F][C][Am][Dm][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]I was a real humdinger
when [F]i was y[C]oung
[Am]Wo men buzzing '[Dm]round
me like flies [G]'round dung
I had a black bomber jacket
[F]and a gold medal[C]lion
[Am]Henry [Dm]Cooper aftershave and
[G]balls like a stallion
But [Am]now I'm past my [D]prime
He's a bug[C]ger is Old [D]Man [G]Time
I [Am]can't shift

[Verse 3]
my gears like I did before
The [G]tiger in me tank won't even roar
And I [Am]can't push me pedal
right down to the floor
And the [G]goddam [Em]piston won't
pump no [D]more
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[C]Who[G][F][C][Am][Dm]
[D][G][Dm][F][C][Am][D]
[G]got
me muscles and [F]turned them into [C]jelly?
Took 'em off me [Dm]arms [D]and wrapped
'em [G]'round me belly
Who took the slider from
me [F]old trom[C]bone?
Who [Dm]bent the needle on [D]me gramo
[G]phone?

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][Am][Dm][D]
[G]

[Verse 5]
Who broke the [Dm]bone that
[F]the doctor can't [C]mend?
Who [Am]took [Dm]the credit from
[D]me flex[G]ible friend?
Who took the wind [Dm]out of m[F]y ball[C]oon?
[Am]Who took me cucumb[D]er
and [G]left me with a prune
I'll [Am]make a most vulgar [D]sign
If I [C]ever meet Old Man [G]Time

[Verse 6]
I can't [Am]shift my gears like I did before
The [G]tiger in me tank won't even roar
And I [Am]can't push me pedal
right down to the floor
And the [G]goddam [Em]piston won't pump no [D]more[G]
[D]

[Interlude 2]
[C][D][G][F][C]
[Am][G][D][F][C]
[Am][Dm][D][G]

[Verse 7]
My [G]rhubarb [Dm]was rig[F]id,
[C]it [Am]thrusted [D]through the custard
But [G]my [D]rhubarb's[F] crumbled and[C]
I'm [Am]ffff flippin' disgus[G]ted
I'm a [Dm]creaking squeaking,
[F]lea[C]king an[Am] tiq[Dm]ue[Am]
[Dm]My s[G]pirit's willing [F]but my flesh[C]
[Am]is w[C]eak[D]

[Interlude 3]
[G][Dm][F][C][Am][D]
[G]

[Verse 8]
But [G]when I die and they [F]lay me [C]out
With [Am]flowers and [Dm]weeping
wo[D]men [G]all about
Some of those [D]wo men might [F]point and grin
[C]And say "Lo[Am]ok rigor mor[D]
[Dm]tis is s[D]etting i[G]n
[D]To [Am]waste it would be a [D]crime
He's a bug[C]ger is Old [D]Man Time"
[G][G]

[Verse 9]
My mother said [D]that [F]to keep good [C]health
[Am]I never, never[D] should abuse [G]myself
And if I had a W. [F]a e[C]n n kay
[Am]I'd shorten my l[D]ife by o[G]ne whole day
Well actually if [F]that were true
I should [C]have [D]died in nine[G]teen fifty two
So [Am]really I'm doing [D]fine
And bug[C]ger you [D]Old Man
