I Ain'T Going Nowhere
Well I think it's about time once again
To thank all my friends here on the Soup
To let you all know how much you mean to this old duffer
For brightening up each and every one of my days
At this late stage in a very happy life
With your oh so kind, uplifting and encouraging words
Especially from all you dear sweet ladies
You continue to curl my toes and zip my zipper
Youse guys are appreciated too but sorry
You don't curl my toes OR zip my zipper
But you DO pop my buttons when I get a thumbs up
I've often thought, what would my life be like
If I was to call it quits... WHAT!!!
And leave all my sweet sweet lovable friends
NOT A FREAKING CHANCE!
You're stuck with me for the duration
1. Till I cash in my chips
2. Till my body assumes room temperature
3. Till I bite the bullet
4. Till I buy the farm
5. Till I climb over that last ridge
6. Till I'm food for the worms
7. Till I take a dirt nap
8. Till I take the last train to Memphis
9. Till my Internet crashes
10. Till I go “**** up”
So are you picking up what I'm putting down?
I AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE!
