Get up and Go |
| How do I know my youth is all spent? |
| My get up and go has got up and went |
| In spite of it all, I’m able to grin |
| When I think of the places my get up has been |
| Old age is golden, I think I’ve heard said |
| But sometimes I wonder as I crawl into bed |
| 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 nations are warring and business is vexed |
| So I’ll stick around to see what happens next |
| When I was younger, my slippers were red |
| I could kick up my heels right over my head |
| When I was older my slippers were blue |
| But still I could dance the whole night thru |
| Now I am old, 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 bed |
