Happy 50th

Well how do you feel, now that you're over the hill 
you know that you're now well past your prime 
happy birthday to you, I wish you fifty more too 
but remember, fifty years is quite a long time. 
You're feeling as old as dirt, every body part hurts 
only the hairs in your ears and nose grow 
you think to yourself that you're as old as an elf 
and you were forty just ten years ago. 
Well don't feel so bad, there's no reason to be sad 
it's not the end of the world, so don't pout 
please for goodness sake, enjoy your cake 
and make sure to blow all fifty candles yout. 
You shouldn't have fear because fifty is here 
just relax and make sure you have fun 
enjoy life instead of acting half dead 
besides, this time next year, you'll be 51. 
So happy fiftieth to you, I hope I reach fifty too 
and remember, it could always be worse 
be as happy as you can, that you drive your own new sedan 
instead of being a passenger, in the back of a hearse.
