Although Lennon gets a bit of credit too for some reason, it's really Paul's song. He wrote it when he was just 16. The Beatles released it much later on their 1967 album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
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 'til 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
Ah, and if you say the word, I could stay with you
I 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 to, dear
We shall scrimp and save
Ah, grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck and Dave
Send 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 forever more
Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm sixty-four?
I embedding this cover rather than a Beatles ripoff because it's so well done. Enjoy, and here's what the performer says:
"Just as was done on the original recording, I performed the song in the key of C and then sped up the final mix by approximately a half-step. I'm playing and singing all the parts. What you see in this video are the actual performances as I recorded them. There is no "lip-syncing" or miming."
