The Legs Are Last To Go

Aunt Ruthie used to sing and dance a jolly way to find romance she said one thing that you should know “The legs are last to go” “The legs are last to go” She’d sing her praises right out loud and wear her stockings high and proud she still had much that she could show The legs are last to go The years roll by and beauty fades and yet her gams, she still parades she’s 83 and don’t cha know her legs were last to go Her legs were last to go
