 Subject: OLD AGE PENSION CHECK
 OLD AGE PENSION CHECK
 Recorded by Roy Acuff
 Writer: Roy Acuff
 [D] When our old age pen-[A7] sion check comes to our [D] door
 We won't have to [D7] dread the [G] poorhouse any [D] more
 Though we're [G] old and thin and gray
 Good [D] times will be back to stay
 When our old age pen-[A7] sion [A7] check comes to our [D] door.
 When her old age pen-[A7] sion check comes to her [D] door
 Dear old grand-[D7] ma won't be [G] lonesome any [D] more
 She'll be [G] waiting at the gate, ever' [D] night she'll have a date
 When her old age pen-[A7] sion check comes to her [D] door.
 
 Grow a flowing, long white beard and use a cane
 'Cause you're in your second childhood, don't complain
 Life will just begin at sixty, we'll all feel very frisky
 When our old age pension check comes to our door.
 
 Powder and paint will be abolished on that day
 And hoop skirts will then be brought back into play
 Painted cheeks will be the rage, and old maids will tell their age
 When their old age pension checks come to their door.
 
 All the drug stores will go bankrupt on that day
 For cosmetics, they will all be put away
 I'll put a flapper on the shelf, get a grandma for myself
 When her old age pension check comes to her door.
 
 There's a man that turned this country upside down
 With his old age pension rumor going 'round
 If you want in on the fun, send your dime to Washington
 And that old age pension man will be around.
