Whether Twenty Or Seventy

If anyone is wondering what it's like To be seventy-eight years young Gotta tell ya, it's not what I expected Thought by now I'd have come undone It's not at all how I thought it would be This dude's still on top of his game Still watching all the pretty ladies go by My lust for these fillies is the same Whether one is twenty or seventy Still drool at the sight of short shorts Dreaming of when the world was new Chasing girls was a real fun sport This might be a surprise to a lot of souls Who think we become old and frail Gonna destroy that myth right here and now Though our drive is lower on the scale Minds don't change, we're the same upstairs Our body betrays us, heaven knows We still have all the equipment, so visuals Send shockwaves down to our toes So if you're wondering, I'll tell you straight Worry not, you'll still feel the urge Only difference is, takes a while to respond It's still heaven when you feel that surge © Jack Ellison 2013
