Gonna Live Forever
Looks like this old geezer
Will live on forever
When I'm out for a stroll
Gait's light as a feather
Most folks mistake me
For a much younger dude
They think I'm about sixty
Don't want to be rude
So they guess around seventy
Some guess eighty or so
Certainly don't blame them
My age doesn't show
I'm proud as a peacock
This image I'm showing
For a man who's reached 87
My pride's overflowing
Owe it to a life filled with joy
Singing just happy songs
Shooing away the nasty clouds
Sun shines all day long
