When I'm 94

A few days ago, in a discussion about the upcoming H2G2 get-together, I mentioned the chances of doing some singing, and learned that songs by the Beatles, led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath would go over better than show tunes. I mentioned "When I'm 64," but quipped that the lyrics should be updated to reflect longer lifespans. I proposed a new title: "When I'm 94."
Herewith is my new first verse, in which I boldly go where McCartney and Lennon did not get a chance to go:
When I get older, losing more hair,
Not that long form now,
Would you keep my walker polished every day,
Tuck me in, keep the cold air away?
Though I may sleep 'til 11:00 a.m.,
I won't be a bore.
I'll take adventures, but not broken dentures,
When I'm 94.
When I'm 94

It would be dandy avoiding a bruise
When my thighs have gone
You can ask a carer helping me back inside
when I've been all night with my bride
