Another Year Older

Another Year Older

Well another year older
Another year's gone by
I just shrug my shoulders
I cannot tell a lie
I've reached the mighty fifty
A half a century that is to some
And I don't feel so nifty
In fact I feel kind of numb

I look into the mirror
And wonder who I see
My vision is getting clearer
Who's that staring back at me?
I used to be good looking
And I used to own a comb
But I feel like I am booking
A flight to a care home

My body aches and creeks
My hair is all but gone
I'm losing all my teeth
Age has done me wrong
But I promise to be happy
I know I'll find a way
But it's hard when you feel crappy
To have a happy birthday
