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
