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
