Hope I Don'T Embarrass Myself
Old age is fast approaching
Wonder what it will be like
Will I still be able to tie my shoes
Will I still be able to dress myself in the morning
... or will I care
Hope I don't embarrass myself
Walking through the mall in my jockeys
Will I break out in goose bumps
Actually my goose bumps may need
Assistance breaking out
They are at least as old as I am
Will I still ogle the young girlies in their short shorts
Trying to remember why I find it titillating
Dream on you old codger
You're still breathing aren't you
