used to dance and sing

I used to be able to dance and sing
Seventy-one has a different ring
My ankles are screaming in pain right now
Teeth are cracked and broken, cannot eat cow

Would walk with a limp if I thought I could
Cannot see street signs police say that I should
Sitting in my chair passing lots of gas
Invited to go out? Thanks; I’ll take a pass.

Lost lots of good friends who were worse than me
Shake like an earthquake when I have coffee
Count me out there are alligators there
I will stay alive holding down this chair
