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
