The old man sits on my chair in the lounge room His face had seen years, his eyes had shed tears Ge's been through a life time, his friends have all gone He waits in the chair as I walk down the stair He looks up at me and his face forms a smile His eyes fill with light as he notices me His body is ancient, yet he looks so happy He opens his mouth and greets me with glee I look at the old man, I smile politely, I shake his leathery hand He gets to his feet and I look in his eyes I open my mouth and address the old man:
How did you get in my house, old man? I don't know who you are You seem like a very sweet nice old man But I don't know who you are
The old man laughs and calls me tobias He thinks it's a game when I say my real name He asks how my wife is and how are my children? I tell him I'm single, he laughs it away He waks in the kitchen and he puts on the kettle He asks me if I want some tea I tell him okay and the water starts boiling He fills up my cup and hands it to me
I'm sorry but that isn't milk, old man I still don't know who you are You put mayonnaise in my tea, old man And I don't know who you are
The old stops, I think I've upset him He puts down the tea cup, looks up at me slowly And says: dear toby, I hate those japs I wander up stairs and fetch him some trousers He puts them on the usual way He tells me that he doesn't know where he's I say theres a room and the he can stay
You can live in my house, old man I don't care who you are You're pretty racist, but funny, old man And I quite like who you are
