When I'M Eighty
When I’m eighty…
I will be sweet to everyone.
I’ll think only about positive things.
I’ll smile a lot with my toothless smile,
And I’ll wear emeralds and diamond rings.
I’ll get up late if I want to.
And I’ll eat anything I like.
I’ll watch cowboy movies and play the piano.
I may even buy a bright yellow bike!
When I’m eighty…
I’ll sing a lot-
Celebrating will be a must.
For all too soon I’ll be checking out,
Pushing up daisies in the dust.
