Kicking Up Geraniums
Believe it or not I was a shy young man
Led a very uninteresting life
Then met a crazy lady named Cathie
“Laugh every day”, her advice
Life's short, you'll wonder where it went
Don't know how much is remaining
“So party it up, make the most of it,” she said
“You'll soon be kicking up geraniums”
So I took her advice maybe a little to literal
Not a serious bone in my body
So don't ya blame me, blame it on Cathie
A slave to this sweet younger hottie
It's [email protected]
That's her private and personal address
Some might like her to explain how she did it
Haven't a clue I must really confess
Once was a shy and retiring young man
She changed my whole life around
I'm now the dude I always wanted to be
Where joy and silliness abound
