It seems that he's been dying ever since I was nine.

But how come we invite him when he always makes a scene?
C majorC G+G
Tell me why does, he hit me with his cane?
C majorC G+G
And why should I get him a gift if he don't know my name?
C majorC G+G
How come, he always calls me "Kate"
C majorC G+G
And forgets his dentures on his dinner plate?

What can I say to someone 300 years old?
