People laugh at us and say
"Look at those old farts,
They're from the past, a time when
Greensleeves was in the charts."
I may have said this once before
But I'll say it again.
The good old days were better -
We were younger then!

<<>>

Let's celebrate your birthday,
We're young, for heaven's sake!
Perhaps too old for clubbing,
But not too old for cake.

<<>>

"The man who has everything"
That's what everyone says.
I guess it must be all those gifts
From all your many birthdays.

<<>>

Becoming old's an awful thing,
It really breaks my heart.
You get your head together, and
Your body falls apart.

<<>>

Becoming old is miserable
It's really very sad.
I wonder at what age you start
To dance just like your dad?

<<>>

People will say you're past it,
They'll say you're over the hill.
Take no notice - there's always
That magic little blue pill.

<<>>

Who cares how old you are?
Let's leave your age unspoken.
Hope you get the gifts you want -
Pipe, slippers, and book token.
