Like Frank

I used to think
I was all that
One dashing dude
A really cool cat

Shoes all polished
A dazzling smile
I knew how to dance
I had lots of style

How is it possible
Am I the only one
Who's stuck in the Eightys
That time I am from

Sporting the same haircut
Wearing polyester pants
Listening to my music
I still like to dance

No longer cool
I guess that's okay
Like Frank Sinatra
I did it my way

Disclaimer: Not really stuck in the 80s and never liked polyester, still like dancing to 80s music.

As long as the music is still good and you can still move, then what's wrong with that ;)

Never was a big Sinatra fan! Guess his rumoured underworld connections turned me off! I'm a little old for music of the 80s except for ABBA! Saw Mama Mia three times!

I am a little young for Frank but did enjoy some of the old black and white pictures he was in. I can see the appeal the guy had swag and sure could carry a tune.
