And think of the places my get up has been.

Old age is golden, so Ive heard said, but sometimes I wonder as I crawl into bed.

G7
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup, my eyes on the table un-til I wake up.

As sleep dims my vision, I say to my-self: Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?

But though nations are warring and business is vexed, Ill stick around to see what happens next.

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 and I puff my way back.

I get up each morning and dust off my wits, open the paper and read the o-bits,

If Im not there, I know Im not dead, so I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed!
