Just Twenty More Years

Eighty years old and I'm still going strong Like I'll live forever, now I know that's wrong Just twenty more years Would allay all my fears Hope P-Soup will remember me after I'm gone © Jack Ellison 2015

We'll immortalize you, you crazy thing... But agree you've still got 20 years in which to sing... So continue on your fling... Like a bird on the wing... for I can definitely tell you you're still on the upswing...
