(Verse 1) Look there is this old man Sitting out on the porch Rocking out on the porch Out there in the rippling pond The huge rainbow trout are jumping out Out on the highway beyond The travelers are looking about (Chorus) (Verse 2) Look there is this old man Sitting out on his porch Gazing out at his land Rocking out on his porch Across the field there is a stirring breeze He’s listening to the radio and the melodies Sounds on the radio floating in the breeze He’s absorbed in listening to the melodies (Chorus) There he is rocking away Sitting out there on his porch He’s rocking the day away Rocking out on his porch Sitting there as time will fly As he watches the world go bye
