Meeeeeeeee ow, wow, wow, wow 

(Repeat chord progression for each verse and Chorus.) 
 
Got a two string on my lap, total subsonic vacation 

Got chicken on the drums, poundin' out a perfect prescription 

Got twenty little worms, all plug into amplification 

Got fifteen hundred bass drum luggin' bug eyed monkeys 

All arriving at the station 
 
Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch 

Old man on the back porch, and that old man is me 

Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch 

Old man on the back porch, and that..... 
 
Me me meeeee ow whoa, whoa, whoa 
 
(Chris and Dave's part sung at the same time) 
 
Chris: 

I'm sittin' on the back porch, kickin' my legs back, rockin in my  

rockin' 

chair,Just sittin' there. On the little back porch it's about to fall  

apart 

So I think I might repair it, just as I'm thinkin about repairin' it 

Some little friends come along with some two string, one string 

No string guitars (Hey Chris wanna jam?), and they plug 

Them all into the back porch, and they sit around playing all their 

favorite songs And kickin back, feelin' real good, real fine, real full  

of 

the wine 

And everything's fine, everything's beautiful, everything's great 

And I just feel so good, you know I'm seventy years old and 

I'm slurpin' everything through a straw 
 
Dave: 

I'm sittin' here on the back porch just eatin' chocolate pudding  

through a 

straw 

And I heated it up on a little sterno stove, tastes just like a warm  

body 

fluid goin' down, little players comin' 'round, pluggin' in their 

instruments, feelin' good 

about Themselves, singin' original songs, by the original masters 

And I'm sittin' there on the porch, rockin' back 'n' forth in my little  

old 

chair 
 
But I'm an old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch 

Old man on the back porch, and that old man is me 

Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch 

Old man on the back porch, and that.....
