An Old Fashioned Guy

I'm an old fashioned guy with old fashioned ways Hard getting used to the fast pace of today Need to take a breath Eliminate the stress By singing “Swanee River” as my hair turns grey! © Jack Ellison 2016

Singing is cool... If it's what you want to do... So pucker up a tune or two... Then come back to your friends so true... Hey, Grandpa Troll wants to join in this woopsie-do... That's Grandpa Troll for you...
