The Nursing Home

---

Be it ever so humble,
wher'er you may roam,
when you're sick and you're old,
you must play "Nursing Home".
Your sons and your daughters
have no place to stash
an elderly nuisance
without lots of cash.
So you go to a place
that smells deep of Lysol,
where the staff's barely trained
and they don't care at all.
And if your mind's weak
and your body is frail
you're treated much worse
than a convict in jail.
You're tied to a wheelchair
or maybe a bed.
They don't change your diaper --
let's pray you get fed.
And if the staff's lively
and in a good mood,
they may play some jokes
in the dark that are lewd.
So when I grow senile
it's my only wish
to be dropped overboard
to be food for the fish.
