When I exercise I lose half a day Swim an hour then hit the hay My 5 o'clock shadow hits at 7 o'clock Now my body's slowing Down don't ask me how My happy meal consists of prunes Cashews celery carrots Water gas-x and lagoons Can no longer wear black My hair fallout is too obvious That's why old men Wear Hawaiian shirts It doesn't take a genius TV weather man said "Summer heat can cause strokes to all" So I sit on the couch just waiting for fall I'm afraid to nap in my chair Someone might think I'm dead They already think I am old clinging To life by a thread You know you're getting old When you have more candles than cake I cut my food in tiny pieces When I eat steak I can't drive at night anymore My cataracts cause a glare I have a special lift device To get me out of this chair These are just some traits That old age will bring I had one more stanza But can't remember a thing
