Lyrics The Short Term Memory Loss Blues - Ray Jessel

The Short Term Memory Loss Blues

When you get to a certain stage in life
a certain critical junction
When you get to a certain age in life
Things start to malfunction
Your list of illness begin to grow
Your reflexes begins to slow
But you know what’s the first thing to go?
I got the short term memory loss blues
The short term memory loss blues
I can’t remember anything
The short term memory loss blues
I got the short term… thing
The short term… whatever
Now where the hell did I put my keys?
And where the hell did I put my keys?
Short term memory loss blues
Seven — that’s the time we leave, at seven
I’ll be waitin' up for heaven
Wait a sec that’s wrong
That’s the bridge to another song
Short term memory loss blues
Be glad that you’re not in my shoes
It’s a bummer when your memory shot
I’d sing the rest, but I forgot
The short term…
The short term…
Don’t tell me
Memory loss!
Oh yes
It’s all coming back to me now
I left them in the pants
I took to the cleaners
Now if I could only remember
Wich cleaners
