Katherine of Oregon

When I get even more old than I am now
 I'll have a house overlooking the water
 I'll read all the books that I never got 'round to
 And pile my suitcases up in the corner
 The lights of the city they blink off and on again
 Names in my memory are there, then they're gone again
 Albums of photographs spread on the floor again
 I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
 I'll fill my garage up with things I've no use for
 Obsolete knick-knacks that there's no excuse for
 I'll turn my back on the world's grand illusions
 Take my delights in the simplest amusements
 The lights of the city they blink off and on again
 Names in my memory are there, then they're gone again
 Albums of photographs spread on the floor again
 I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
 I'll wear my clothes with their colors all clashing
 They'll be so old that they'll come back in fashion
 I'll sit on the beach with my paper wrapped luncheon
 I'll enjoy being the ancient curmudgeon
 The lights of the city they blink off and on again
 Names in my memory are there then they're gone again
 I'll have a jukebox and play Lonnie Donegan
 And I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
