Happy Days
I have become a groaner
Misery and a moaner,
My body is becoming frail
My eyes are fading my face is pale.
My legs are wobbly, I wear a brace,
Behind these wrinkles, I have a face
Not one that would launch a thousand ships
Or a mouth that kissed a thousand lips,
But a countenance that is a part of me
That was once young and fancy-free,
Shake yourself, silly old girl.
Put on some music,
Give your leg a twirl,
Roll your eyes, and clap your hands,
As you listen to the old-time bands
Of yesterday,
All your moans will dance away.
