Get Up and Go

Chorus:
How do I know my youth is all spent?
My get up & go has got up and went
But in spite of it all I'm able to grin
And think of the places my get up has been

Old age is golden, so I've heard said
But sometimes I wonder as I crawl into bed
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup
My eyes on a table until I wake up
As sleep dims my vision, I say to myself
"Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?"
But tho' nations are warring & business is vexed
I'll still stick around to see what happens next

(Chorus)

When I was young, my slippers were red
I could kick up my heels right over my head
When I was older my slippers were blue
But still I could dance the whole night through
Now I am older, my slippers are black
I huff to the store & I puff my way back
But never you laugh: I don't mind at all
I'd rather be huffing than not puff at all!

(Chorus)

I get up each morning & dust off my wits
Open the paper and read the obits
If I'm not there, I know I'm not dead
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed
