Lyrics

Slow down, you walk too fast
These last two blocks have left me gassed
Just tripping on the cobblestones
Lookin’ for meds and feelin’ Parkie

Mr Tony how’s it goin'?
The mail bag thing is really growin'
Ain’t you got air time for me?
Doitforme I’m
Feelin' Parkie
there’s nothing to do
No antidotes to drink
I’m feelin' so lousy I barely can think
But this Parkinson’s won’t get the better of me
Life I love you - even Parkie

there are no expectations in jingleland! we waste our time on this nonsense because it's fun, presumably. and it's better than gambling or watching game shows.

This is offered as a 'coming out' of a kind, encouraged at a Parkinson's Foundation event I attended a couple of years ago, and a reason why my participation, at a level of twenty very odd years ago, may not measure up to expectations.
