Was born back in nineteen-thirty-five That's nineteen, not eighteen or I wouldn't be alive I'd surely be long dead Didn't want you to be misled Through a Depression and a World War, still doing the jive

"Jive" now that brought a tear to my eye! Wasn't a good "jiver" but I tried!!! Still alive... "Must've been from good stock"!!! Think I'll have that inscribed on my tombstone!!! LOL
