Even Old People Party On
Write an invitation, send it to your friends
“Everyone please come, one and all…
We are going to party, have some fun.”
Include a little note with these lines…
“Leave off the gifts, I don’t want them
Leave off the fancy dresses too”
Please come over just as you are
All I need is your smiling face.
RSVP if you can, and don’t delay
Tell me if you’re bringing a friend.
You really don’t want to miss this one!
Leave it to me to supply the food.
Ice to put in glasses, and chests to
Keep the beer cold. There will be
Even cola, and bottled water too.
There’ll be wine, and also mixed drinks.
Help yourself to dip and chips, and
Even shrimp and little sandwiches.
Rumaki is always a special treat.
Enough food to sink a battleship!
Stand up and dance the calories off!
Never say you are too old to dance;
Old people know how to have fun!
Think of when we once were young
Overdoing too much food and drink.
Most bodies would hurt the next day
OH, but we did have a ball!
Remember how we stayed up all night?
Raise a glass to those who didn’t make it!
One more drink, a song or two, and
We’ll party like there’s no tomorrow!
