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 eighty and I'm eighty-three

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 sometimes 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'
