Let me be grumpy

I don’t mean any harm when I complain

even though I say it again and again

just want to release a bit of extra steam

I’m much much nicer than I may seem

(Chorus)

Oh, let me be grumpy in my old age

let me be grumpy in my old age

Not young any more, not got long to go

let me be grumpy till the day I die

I tolerated foolishness all my life

listened to horror tales of war and strife

took it on the chin, turned the other cheek

always cheered for the downtrodden meek

I may give the image of angry discontent

but please believe me that’s not what I meant

my opinion is mine and if you disagree

you’re more than welcome to be grumpy back to me

(Chorus)

I reserve the right to rant and rave

won’t have a chance when I’m in my grave

I won’t shut up just to try to be polite

I’ll moan and groan from morning till night

(Chorus)
