Not a candidate for the Nobel literature prize, just an observation on getting older.
Thanks for listening.

I walk into a store  
The clerk comes up to me   
A sweet young thing she  smiles at me
May I help you sir? she  says to me
May I help you Sir?    
When did I cross that line
They call me
Sir

Never hear How's it going man?
Never hear Hey  What's happening?
What I get is May I help you Sir
Do you need some help with those  
Bags Sir
When did I become a Sir
When did I cross  that line   
Don't call me Sir

Ev'ry day I get a stack of mail
Letting me know about a hearing aid sale
An offer to move to Retirement City
The funeral home  has a deal for me
I can handle all those things  They don't bother me   
But don't call me Sir

 
The waitress comes around
I get an automatic senior discount
My doctor doesn't know about bladder control
My doctor is 12 years old
I admit I'm getting old But show me some respect
Don't call me Sir
No don't call me Sir

Lol. It's their problem not yours mate. Screw em. :)
Good stuff.

You and Laura (Skinnybones on here) should duet on this...
 
Guitars sound great.

Nice lyrics! You did a swell job there, s... man!

Daryl
Thank you. Don't know why this "sir" thing drives me so crazy. It was fun to write a song about it, tho.

Dan
Not sure if the duet would help her résumé any, but the suggestion did make my day. 

I forgot to mention that I used Indiginus Resonator guitar here, so it's MIDI. I did play the notes with the keyboard and made corrections in PRV.

Leizer
Hey, tack så mycket!  

I can relate.  Good tune!

Yep. Thought this very thing once or twice . . . a day.
 
So it's obviously a clever musing, which is cool all by itself. Mix-wise, I think the drums are doing a swing feel but the rest are playing the 4/4 pretty straight. I'd drop the swing out of the drums to match the rest of it.
 
very cool, Bjorn!

The lyrics made me smile, regarding the line "May I help you sir?" my default response is no I am beyond help.

Thanks for the smile I needed it.

Yes, I can relate, especially when the ticket girl at the cinema asked me if I wanted an OAP concession ticket..I'm 56...

Lol.
I buy senior tickets for the movies online and haven't been called out when I present my digital ticket yet. I thought I was getting away with it but maybe I just look like an old fart.
