Look Ma,I'M Getting Up There!!
I used to have a sweet HARDBODY
The babes would be a'whistlin:
"HEY,LOOK AT THAT PRECIOUS HOTTIE!"
Living off of that sexy fantasy
but ,today,the facts are clear
SAY HELLO TO MIDDLE AGE REALITY
Home is where my flab will lie
AGING X'ER and his pounds that cry:
FORGET THE YOGURT
how-do-do-do-
Here comes the double chin
My fate coming true
Father smiles
He points to my SILVER HAIR
But now I can beam and say:
"LOOK MA,YOUR SON IS GETTING UP THERE"!
