Seventy-five is the year70th Birthday? You say you're not retired yet?!
That's a watershed, put it in gear
Get your butt to the gym.
Fix your attitude. Trim
Your waistline. There are no wimps here.
At seventy-six you could do
All the travel put off for when you
Had the freedom, the time
The grown children, the dime
To get out there and find Timbuktu.
At seventy-six you could do
All the travel put off for when you
Had the freedom, the time
The grown children, the dime.
Pack your bags, bid the kids adieu.
You're seventy-seven today?
Wow, that's great! So then, what do you say?
Let's go cut a rug
Come on, give me a hug
Let us celebrate life while we may.
Today you are seventy-eight?
An achievement, no doubt you think straight.
We are certain the smile
That is always your style
Is the reason you yet ambulate.
Today you are seventy-eight?
An achievement, no doubt you think straight.
Seek the day's rising tide
Take the bad things in stride
And your "groove thing" will still percolate.
