Beatles songs, When I'm Sixty FourWhen I'm Sixty Four(Paul McCartney – John Lennon and Paul McCartney)Albums in which the song is present1967 - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band1999 - Yellow Submarine Songtrack JOHN 1967: ''When I'm Sixty Four' was something Paul wrote in the Cavern days. We just stuck in a few more words, like 'grandchildren on your knee,' and 'Vera Chuck and Dave.' It was just one of those ones that he'd had, that we've all got, really – half a song. And this was just one of those that was quite a hit with us. We used to do it when the amps broke down, just sing it on the piano.'JOHN 1972: 'I think I helped Paul with some of the words.'JOHN 1980: 'Paul's, completely. I would never dream of writing a song like that. There's some things I never think about, and that's one of them.PAUL 1984: 'I wrote the tune when I was about 15, I think, on the piano at home, before I moved from Liverpool. It was kind of a cabaret tune. Then, years later, I put words to it.'PAUL circa-1994: 'I thought it was a good little tune but it was too vaudvillian, so I had to get some cod lines to take the sting out of it, and put the tongue very firmly in cheek.' When I get older losing my hair Many years from now Will you still be sending me a valentine Birthday greetings, bottle of wine? If I'd been out till quarter to three Would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I'm sixty four?You'll be older too And if you say the word I could stay with youI could be handy, mending a fuse When your lights have gone You can knit a sweater by the fireside Sunday mornings go for a ride Doing the garden, digging the weeds Who could ask for more? Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I'm sixty four?Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight If it's not too dear We shall scrimp and save Grandchildren on your knee Vera, Chuck and DaveSend me a postcard, drop me a line Stating point of view Indicate precisely what you mean to say Yours sincerely, wasting away Give me your answer, fill in a form Mine forevermore Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I'm sixty four? Ho! |
