Wait a minute buddy Is this some sort of joke No one told me this would happen The moment I got old That all my youthful vigor Would be replaced with aches and pains And that I would barely remember My first let alone last name And that all the pills I'm taking Would be my meal replacement I should buy stock in Advil I'd be a millionaire if you know what I'm saying Luckily I'm not there yet Where diapers are a necessity Guess I have to thank my prostate Keeping the *** from running freely And the hair that used to be On top this shinny head In my early 50's dug a tunnel That now comes out my nose instead Every morning when I wake up I'm now wondering who, what, when, and why Heaven looks a lot like my bedroom When I feel like I have died Guess all those old farts in the home are laughing Over the wool they've pulled for fun But don't worry all you young whipper snappers Your day is soon to come Yes someone somewhere is cackling At this the cruelest joke Though I find nothing funny About me growing old

Growing Old (Life's Cruelest Joke)
Wait a minute buddy Is this some sort of joke No one told me this would happen The moment I got old That all my youthful vigor Would be replaced with aches and pains And that I would barely remember My first let alone last name And that all the pills I'm taking Would be my meal replacement I should buy stock in Advil I'd be a millionaire if you know what I'm saying Luckily I'm not there yet Where diapers are a necessity Guess I have to thank my prostate Keeping the *** from running freely And the hair that used to be On top this shinny head In my early 50's dug a tunnel That now comes out my nose instead Every morning when I wake up I'm now wondering who, what, when, and why Heaven looks a lot like my bedroom When I feel like I have died Guess all those old farts in the home are laughing Over the wool they've pulled for fun But don't worry all you young whipper snappers Your day is soon to come Yes someone somewhere is cackling At this the cruelest joke Though I find nothing funny About me growing old
