when I was young and in my fine times
the girls all stood in long lines
but now that I am older than sand
thier granddaughters all say he.s not the man
he once was handsome and smooth of persuasion
but now he is over the hill with no more conversation
that can make a ladies romantic heart swoon
he is an old lone wolf howling baefully at the moon
once an accomplished guide for Submarine races
on Lake Texoma shores his talent now in other places
Octogenarians must do their part in life with endless tales
of how they made the country safe for your generation
fighting the worlds bad guys and protecting freedom for all
bringing democracy to people who cannot understand a.tall
