CHORUS
How do I know my youth is all spent
My get up and go has got up and went
But in spite of it all I’m able to grin
And think of the places my get up has been
Old age is golden so I’ve heard said
But sometimes I wonder as I crawl into bed
With my ears in a drawer my teeth in a cup
My eyes on the table until I wake up
As sleep dims my vision I say to myself
Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf
But tho’ nations are warring and business is vexed
I’ll still stick around to see what happens next
When I was young my slippers were red
I could kick up my heels right over my head
When I as older my slippers were blue
But still I could dance the whole night through
Now I am older my slippers are black
I huff to the store and I puff my way back
But never you laugh I don’t mind at all
I’d rather be huffing than not puff at all
I get up each morning and dust off my wits
Open the paper and read the obits
If I’m not there I know I’m not dead
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bedVIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
