Yeah, occasionally I like to write parody lyrics to famous songs. Wrote THIS parody the other day, reflecting on being 65, officially a Senior Citizen now...
"DADDY TOLD ME (DON'T GET OLD)"
(May be sung to the tune of "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" by 3 Dog Night, 1970).
With blood thinner after dinner, heart med before bed
I'm finally heedin' what my lady doctor said
I take so many pills I ain't NEVER took before!
Turn off Joe Willie Namath, I can't take him anymore!
Daddy told me don't get old
Daddy told me don't get old
"It's on the way to be DEAD, son...
It's on the way to be dead!"
Each day brings new small problems, like some breakin' down old car
I wonder as I solve 'em
How'd I ever get this far?
What became of younger days
when I felt like Superman?
'Cause it seems like in old age
Kryptonite
comes in a can!
Daddy told me don't get old
Daddy told me don't get old
"Stay at the age that you are, son...
Stay at the age that you are!"
I know that there are others,
Brothers
who sure got it worse
I know that some are older
whose next "car" is a new hearse
And I'll have a brand NEW body
when Jesus comes again
but Lord, you gotta help me
last till death...or Then
Daddy told me don't get old
Daddy told me don't get old
But it's all part of the Curse, Lord
Yeah it's all part of the Curse!
