HOW DO i KNOW MY YOUTH IS ALL SPENT ?

BECAUSE MY GET -UP-AND-GO...GOT UP AND WENT

BUT IN SPITE OF ALL THAT...I'M ABLE TO GRIN

WHEN I THINK WHERE MY-GET -UP-AND-GO'S REALLY BEEN




OLD AGE IS GOLDEN...I'VE HEARD IT SAID !

BUT SOMETIMES I WONDER AS I GO TO BED

MY EARS IN A DRAWER....MY TEETH IN A CUP

MY EYES ON THE TABLE..UNTIL I WAKE UP



WHEN I WAS YOUNG...MY SLIPPERS WERE RED

I COULD KICK MY HEELS RIGHT OVER MY HEAD

WHEN I GREW OLDER ..MY SLIPPERS WERE BLUE

BUT I COULD STILL DANCE THE WHOLE NIGHT THRU



NOW I AM OLDER...MY SLIPPERS ARE BLACK

I WALK IN THE CORNER AND PUFF MY WAY BACK

THE REASON...I KNOW...MY YOUTH IS ALL SPENT

MY GET-UP-AND-GO JUST GOT-UP-AND-WENT



SO i GET UP EACH MORNING...AND DUST OFF MY WITS

PICK UP THE PAPER AND READ THE -OR - BITS

IF MY NAME IS MISSING I KNOW I'M NOT DEAD

SO I EAT A GOOD BREAKFAST AND GO BACK TO BED
