Turn Off Your Youthlight

Turn off your youthlight and say farewell to the child embrace the gist of it WE ARE NO LONGER FUN AND WILD Face the fact accept the fear Examine thy cracks between the front and the rear Fun is no more OLD AGE is now in store put down that COOL AID take pleasure in the tea Watch the PRICE IS RIGHT Bob Barker is alright with me Goodbye SCOOBY DOO Sayonara WINNIE THE POOH Arrivederci HAPPY DAYS and don't forget LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY,too! Our destiny is in the JOINTRITIS The precious parts start to SAG Lovin' isn't so easy these days THE WEENIE is waving its flag MY-MY! Time is passing by Those SWIMSUIT issues to put away "ELLE MACPHERSON: I say goodbye!!" Soft in the gut New ideas put me in a rut So now the stomach tells all We might as well CHOW DOWN at PIZZA HUT! American POP CULTURE: MTV days Clara Peller saying with gusto: WHERE'S THE BEEF and pronto!! People need youth To suck on vitality LOOK IN THE MIRROR,GOOD PEOPLE and face MIDDLE-AGE reality The end of my tale This lesson to be learned well A STIFF UPPER LIP and take pride in our ADVANCING HELL!
