Aged Singers
When aged singers
Go on the stage to sing
Their voices have lost their clarity
And also lost that zing
It is the time to retire
When the audience starts to boo
These constant comebacks
Are not the thing to do
Don't you all realise
When it's the time to stop
Why didn't you cease to sing
While you were still on top
It must make you all feel sad
And as nostalgic as it may seem
It's better to be remembered well
And not as a has-been
