Sorry Son, I'M Saying No - a Collaboration
In my younger years, I used to be...
so energetic. Oh, I had stamina for days!
But that was then, this is now.
Let me enjoy old age in peace, son
I'm in no mood for exercise these days
I want to relax in my comfy rocking chair,
smoke my Cuban cigar, and feed the pigeons.
That's my idea of fun! It's more fun...
than running several laps around the block.
Are you trying to kill your old man?
You have to jog alone, or take your mother!
She's in better shape! I'm sore when I wake up...
early mornings! Don't be so pushy!
Jogging wears me out. Seems so long ago
since I ran; I'd rather walk. Don't even bring up
those damn fitness trainers! I love...
the idea of strenuous exercise, but...
I just can’t do them now.
