Time Enough for Rocking

[Intro]
My Uncle Abe's working on the roof, he's damn near ninety
Muscles in his nose
Come five o'clock jumps off the roof
Starts racing toward his car on the road
I shout to him, "Uncle Abe, don't you ever take a break?"
"What for?" he says
"Got a big one coming"

[Verse 1]
There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old
We can rock all day in rocking chairs of gold
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old, my love

[Verse 2]
There'll be time enough for talk in the nursing home
Darling, time enough to write an epic poem
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for talking in the home, my love

[Verse 3]
There'll be time enough for sleeping when we're dead
You will have a velvet pillow for your head
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for sleeping when you're dead, my love

[Verse 4]
There'll be time enough for sex and drugs in heaven
When our pheromones are turned up to eleven
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for sex and drugs in heaven, my love
And time enough for rocking when we're old
