Wait a minute baby

I'll be right back

I just gotta talk

To a friend

For a couple of minutes



I see you looking

At the two of us

And what do you see

The oldest couple at the Mayflower

Esther and Me



I push her in the chair

I know she'd walk

If she could

She says "Take your pills"

As if they do any good



I'll bet you think

That what you're looking

At is all we are

Two old people forgetting

The way we were

Sonny, no one is

What they look like

Everyone's so much more

Sonny, no one is

What they look like

And we're not what

You see that's for sure



You should have known her before

You should have known her before

Legs she had legs

That made the guys drool

And her waist was as small

As your neck

And the face and the hair

And the rest of her

And when I look at her now

I still see her young and beautiful

She's my girl and I'm her Joe

And we're not what you see



In a minute baby I'll be right back

I just got some more to say

To my young new friend here



Esther just turned 80 and I'm 83

The oldest couple at the Mayflower

Esther and me

I knew that when I saw her

We were meant to be one

She says she didn't notice me

But don't you believe her



I'll bet you think that what you're looking at

Is all we are

Two old people

Stumbling through the days



Sonny, no one is what

They look like

Everyone's so much more

Sonny, no one is what

They look like

And we're not what you see

That's for sure



You should have known me before

You should have known me before-a
