| The most popular type of popular song is of course the love song, | |
| and I'd like to illustrate several subspecies of this form during | |
| the evening. | |
| First of all, the type of love song where the fellow tells the girl | |
| that although the years ahead will almost certainly destroy every | |
| vestige of her already dubious charms, that nonetheless his love | |
| for her will shine on forever through the years, you know. Another | |
| example of stark realism in the popular song. | |
| This particular example is called "When You Are Old And Grey," | |
| and I'd like to dedicate it to anyone in the audience who is still | |
| in love with each other. | |
| Since I still appreciate you | |
| Let's find love while we may | |
| Because I know I'll hate you | |
| When you are old and grey | |
| So say you love me here and now | |
| I'll make the most of that | |
| Say you love and trust me | |
| For I know you'll disgust me . . . | |
| When you're old and getting fat! | |
| An awful debility | |
| A lessened utility | |
| A loss of mobility | |
| Is a strong possibility | |
| In all probability | |
| I'll lose my virility | |
| And you your fertility | |
| And desirability | |
| And this liability | |
| Of total sterility | |
| Will leed to hostility | |
| And a sense of.. futility | |
| So let's act with agility | |
| While we still have facility | |
| For we'll soon reach senility | |
| And lose the ability . . . | |
| Your teeth will start to go dear | |
| Your waist will start to spread | |
| In twenty years or so dear | |
| I'll wish that you were dead | |
| I'll never love you then at all | |
| The way I do today | |
| So please remember | |
| When I leave in December . . . | |
| I told you so in May |
