When I Was Young

When I was young and pretty
The men would pay me court
But now I'm old and wrinkled
They don't want my sort

When I was young and blonde
My figure was very neat
But now I'm so overweight
I can hardly see my feet

When I was young and gabby
I could dance the night away
But now I'm old and flabby
And lucky to walk each day

Oh, woe is me!!
