Gonna Live On Forever
Looks like this geezer
Will live on forever
When I'm out for a stroll
Gait's light as a feather
Most folks mistake me
For a much younger dude
They think I'm bout forty
Don't want to be rude
So they guess around fifty
Some sixty or so
Certainly don't blame them
My age doesn't show
I'm proud as a peacock
This image I'm showing
For a man in my seventies
My pride's overflowing
Owe it to a life filled with joy
Singing happy songs
Shooing away nasty clouds
Sun shines all day long
