OH THE JOYS OF GETTING OLD
CREAKING JOINTS AND FEELING COLD,
CONSTANT ACHES AND FREQUENT PAIN
EVERY DAY THAT WE GET RAIN,
CAN’T DO THIS AND CAN’T DO THAT
HAIR LONG GONE SO NEED A HAT,
LEGS ARE SHAKY KNEES ARE WEAK
TEETH KEEP SLIPPING WHEN I SPEAK,
THE TEETH ARE FALSE NOT MY OWN
OH MY GOODNESS HEAR ME MOAN,
EYESIGHT POOR I CAN’T SEE WELL
GOING DEAF BUT WHO CAN TELL,
I CANNOT RUN CAN HARDLY WALK
NO ONE HEARS ME WHEN I TALK,
AND WHEN I’M SLEEPING ALL DAY LONG
NO ONE WONDERS WHAT IS WRONG,
BUT AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE
I CAN’T COMPLAIN I’VE HAD SOME FUN.
