Alzheimer's seems to be setting in
Can hardly remember a simple thing
Have I had breakfast or been to the loo yet?
God only knows, these simple things I forget

Young one's come and knock on my door
Say they are related, never met them before
Woman in my bedroom claims that she's my wife
Swear I've never seen her before in my whole life

Not all completely bad though, I must say
Get to meet new friends each and every day
Can be awful forgetting what you've just done
But then times like Easter can be so much fun

Wife tells me we've been married a decade or two
I just smile and say "I can't remember loving you"
Now I'm sat at the table, my glasses I am chewing
With a pen and paper but no idea what I am doing

Saw the doctor last May or perhaps it was September
Said "take two pills every day, may help you to remember"
Every morning when I wake up I search near and far
How can I take a pill when I 've no idea where they are?
