Night Of The Octogenarians

it was a peaceful night
other than the moon was full
little did I know the effect
of gravitational pull

it became the night of the octogenarians
in my taxi along the Hudson
it became the night of the octogenarians
there was no way I could see it coming

there was Tommy eighty seven
wise cracking like a seventeen year old
nobody messes with Tommy
it's a death sentence, so I was told

then there was Stella and Max
the splitting image of my dead and gone grandparents
same arguments same looks to a tee,
frozen, my gosh, if only there was the slightest variance

it became the night of the octogenarians
in my taxi along the Hudson
it became the night of the octogenarians
there was no way I could see it coming

next came Harvey the leprechaun
eighty eight if I don't miss my guess
is this your wallet, your pen, your clipboard, your house keys
listen Mr. four foot two, the answer is yes

last but not least the ageless Bonnie & Clyde
talking parole officer, you see they had robbed a bank
eighty six years a piece, trash talking, that stinking so and so
we gave the money back, and nobody said thanks

it became the night of the octogenarians
in my taxi along the Hudson
it became the night of the octogenarians
there was no way I could see it coming

full moon oh full moon
nobody will believe the night I had
full moon oh full moon
the men with white jackets said iron clad

it became the night of the octogenarians
in my taxi along the Hudson
it became the night of the octogenarians
there was no way I could see it coming
