Old Ain'T Dead
Old Ain’t Dead
By Elton Camp
Flossie was sitting on the porch with sister Belle
Both were up in years, but actually doing well
Belle spent her day sitting around with a fan
Flossie said, “Phooey on this. I’ll get me a man.”
So Flossie fixed up and put her cane out of sight
Jumped in her Edsel and went out for the night
To enter the neighborhood bar she didn’t have a fear
She called, “Hey fellows, swingin’ Flossie is here.”
“I may not be young, but I know how to have fun
So whoever wants to buy me drink better run.”
All of the young bimbos’ faces turned bright red
Their men gathered around at what Flossie said
She said, “Who dates me must have a lot on the ball.
I may be old and wrinkled, but I’m not dead at all.”
