Lyrics
Sex stops at sixty – so the young folks say;
Everything wrinkles – or withers away.
That may be true for some of you
Who reached your peak at twenty-two.
But let me tell you something:

1ST CHORUS
Shed no tears for the passing years
‘Cause the heat of passion’s still aglow.
Making love at sixty, making love at sixty
Is better than you know.

2nd CHORUS
Yes, my dears, we are shifting gears,
‘Cause the motor runs a little slow.
But making love at sixty, making love at sixty,
Making love at sixty is better than you know.

Same sweet longings still occur,
Me for him, him for her,
Same old hunger makes a stir.
If you did it, you still do it,
If you didn’t, well, hon, you blew it.

3rd CHORUS
Give three cheers for the passing hears,
Mother Nature’s never marking time,
Making love at sixty, making love at sixty,
Making love at sixty will find you in your prime.

Twice a month or twice a day,
It’s terrific either way.
In summation, may we say:
If you did it, you still do it,
If you didn’t, well get down to it!

4th CHORUS
Sex appears to go on for years,
Father Time he never draws the line.
Making love at sixty, making love at seventy,
Making love at eighty or even eighty-nine,
Making love at sixty, making love at ninety,
CODA
Ninety? Well, why not?
Making love at any age
Is oh, so….fine!
