Peter and Lou Berryman have a hilarious new song called "Older than Everybody". I have the words in a file somewhere and I'll add them soon, but just buy their CD anyway. It's that good! How about the folkie standard MY GET UP AND GO (HAS GOT UP AND WENT) Words pasted below from Digitrad MY GET UP AND GO (HAS GOT UP AND WENT) How do I know my youth is all spent? My get up and go has got up and went In spite of it all, I'm able to grin When I think of the places my get up has been Old age is golden, I think I've heard said But sometimes I wonder as I crawl into bed My ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup My eyes on the table until I wake up As sleep dims my vision, I say to myself Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf? But nations are warring and business is vexed So I'll stick around to see what happens next cho. When I was younger, 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 thru Now I am old, my slippers are black I huff to the store and I puff my way back But never you laugh, I don't mind at all I'd rather be huffing than not puff at all cho I get up each morning and dust off my wits Open the paper and read the obits If I'm not there, I know I'm not dead So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed words trad, melody Pete Seeger from the singing of Jens Wennberg of Ithaca NY @age filename[ GETUPGO TUNE FILE: GETUPGO CLICK TO PLAY SOF
