Clean Bill of Health

Got a clean bill of health
From my doctor today
So I'm feeling darn good
That's needless to say!

For a man of my age
That's a pretty good thing
Thought one or two parts
Would need replacing

But hooray, hallelujah
I'm good for a while
No need for pills
Can't wipe off the smile!

With a positive outlook
You've won half the battle
It's mind over matter
Just don't ya get rattled!

I could surely continue
For many more verses
There's no funeral pending
So send back the hearses
