| 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
 | 
| hair, I had hair the girls
 | 
| loved to feel and a built
 | 
| watch out Joe Poluka
 | 
| I could see I could hear
 | 
| I could run a mile
 | 
| and when I dream of us now
 | 
| I still see us young and beautiful
 | 
| she’s my girl and I’m her Joe
 | 
| and we’re not what you see
 | 
| I guess I better go now
 | 
| she’s my family
 | 
| the oldest couple
 | 
| at the Mayflower
 | 
| Esther and Me
 | 
| I’ll help her with her bath
 | 
| and then I’ll kiss her goodnight
 | 
| and sometime’s we dance
 | 
| in the early moonlight
 | 
| I’ll bet you think that what
 | 
| you’re looking at is all we are
 | 
| two old people
 | 
| watching the days go by 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
 | 
| I’ll be right there darlin' |
