(Verse 1)

(Verse 1) Yo, they say I'm old, but I'm feelin' alright Got arthritis, but I'm still holdin' on tight My knees might creak, and I might talk with a wheeze But I'm here, I'm alive, and I'm doin' as I please (Chorus) Yeah, my pulse is weak, and my blood is thin But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in Lost all my teeth, diet's a sin But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in (Verse 2) Can't get thin, overweight, that's the truth Need arch supports just to walk, forsooth! Sleepless nights, tossin' and turnin' in bed But I wake up each mornin', ain't dead yet, instead (Chorus) Yeah, my pulse is weak, and my blood is thin But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in Lost all my teeth, diet's a sin But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in (Bridge) Old age is golden, that's what they say But my get-up-and-go done got up and went away Ears in the drawer, teeth in a cup Glasses on the shelf, 'til I wake up (Verse 3) Every mornin' I rise, dust off my wits Read the obits, make sure I ain't on the list If my name ain't there, then I'm good to go Eat a big breakfast, back to bed, yo! (Chorus) Yeah, my pulse is weak, and my blood is thin But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in Lost all my teeth, diet's a sin But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in (Outro) So let's keep it real, as we're growin' old Better to say "I'm fine" than the story be told 'Bout the aches and pains and the shape we're in Let's just keep on grinnin' and let the good times begin!
