Lyrics
I’m just as healthy as I can be;
There’s ain’t nothing wrong the matter with me;
I’m fine for the shape I’m in.

And overlook all tendencies
To huff and puff and wheeze and sneeze;
I’m fine for the shape I’m in.

O there are aches and there is pain
And I always know when it’s gonna rain
‘Cause my elbow acts like a weather vane
But I don’t complain.
For the one thing no one wants to know
When they say, “How are ya?” and mean “Hello”
Is just what kind of shape you’re in.

Arch supports support my feet;
It takes me hours to cross the street;
I can’t stand cold and I can’t get heat
But I still repeat.
I may be living on aspirin
But I make damn sure I say with a grin,
I’m fine for the shape I’m in.

Worst of all is being told
When you’re getting on and you’re getting old,
“You’re fine! Better than you’ve ever been!”
Well, of course I’m fine and of course I’ll live
Considering the alternative;
I’m fine for the shape I’m in.

I’m fine; I’m fine; I’m fine; I’m fine;
I’m fine for the shape I’m (spoken) in!
