New Lease of Life

Having grey hair aint much fun, There's no more races to be won, I sit in my rocker and snore away, Seem to do it most every day, I think I'm just about done. But wait a minute, my numbers came in, A three hundred thousand lottery win, I'm off to Paris and the Champs_Elysees, To chase mademoiselles that aint so grey, I'm already wearing an adventurous grin.
