Flip out, life's begun when you're seventy one,
nothing's not done,
you can eat how you like, wear what you like, if you like,
kick all the traces, go out on a binge,
roll all around in the bed,
there's no one to scold because you're so old,
all the powers that be are now dead,
so look on the bright side, go out have some fun,
there's nothing to gain sitting down,
your body needs exercise, move anyway,
you'll be younger and younger as day turns to day,
find out what you can and pursue it,
because if you don't, you'll know that you blew it.
