Each year we are changing
But who really cares
Hair is now thinner
But perms help us there

Knees are just painful
But never you mind
Feet now are bigger
Those boxes are fine

Nose is now longer
Just like Mother said
It seems we can see it
While looking ahead

Figure is gone now
We have a few lumps
Don't have to worry
We'll never be frumps

Teeth they sure to dazzle
They're perfectly white
Cost a few thousand
And they come out at night

Everything is sagging
Our butts jiggle too
So this is life now!
But what can we do?

Kicking our heels up
A tad bit too fast
Knock ourselves out then
Another new cast

Still we're delighted
Life is a blast
Happy to wake up
So let's make it last.
