Still Got the Smarts
Know what it's like to be seventy-eight
It ain't all sunshine and roses
Can kinda feel like yesterday's generation
Then answer a question someone poses
No one knew the answer but this old guy
Makes me really feel kinda smart
Still got some stuff to offer these young'uns
Old, but I ain't a dead old fart
Remember thinking when I was young
Old guys aren't with it anymore
All they can think of is napping all day
With incessant very loud snores
Well now that I'm finally one of those guys
I can tell you right here and now
We've still got the smarts from living so long
So listen up, we'll show you how
