Growing Old Disgracefully
All my life I worried 'bout,
What others thought of me.
I always tried to watch myself,
And act as I should be.
Mind my manners, stand up straight,
And try to be a lady,
But we all knew that in my heart,
I was a little shady.
There was a wild thing lurking there,
Just below the surface;
Aching just to be set free,

Growing Old Disgracefully
Getting old is no fun believe me - I thought it would just be a breeze
