Gayle Wade sang an interesting parody at the Mudcat Singaround today:

CLICK GO THE JOINTS
(Emma Elliott)

When you get older, dancing’s not the same;
All of the dances, they have to be more tame.
Your bones they start to crumble and your joints they start to groan
And all the time you’re telling yourself you should’ve stayed at home!

chorus:
Click go the joints now, click, click, click
Creak goes your elbow and crunch goes your hip.
Out pops your shoulder and bang goes your knee –
Why do all our dances always end at A&E??

See all the young fellas out to have a blast,
Leaping in the air, don’t they know that it won’t last?
When they see us dancing, they look on in disgust,
But one day they’ll look down and find their bones have turned to dust.
CHORUS

If you’re still young you may think you’re safe and sound
But don’t you know in 20 years you won’t get off the ground?
So enjoy it while you can and appreciate the fact
That when you finish dancing all your limbs are still intact.
CHORUS

If you are wise, you will take my advice
And quit while you’re ahead, or beware, you’ll pay the price.
But if you’re old already, then don’t despair, take heart –
Just pray you get in one more dance before you fall apart!
CHORUS


Thanks, Gayle!!
