You Have Known A Better Day

You walk stiff your joints are aching you feel wonky at the knees And you have heart palpitations every time you cough or sneeze You no longer feel sexual urges cannot satisfy the wife She has found herself a younger lover who brings pleasure to her life You wear a brown wig to hide your bald patch and in brown hair dye cloak your gray But the years on you are telling you have known a better day Close to the three score and ten years not the man you used to be Time on you it is telling like it is telling on me Quite a dashing and handsome fellow when you were in your life's prime But the very best and finest too become victims of time Your oldest son balding and ageing your oldest grandchild a woman of twenty three On looking back the years went by so quickly that is how it seems to me You wear a brown wig to hide your baldness and in brown hair dye cloak your gray But your ageing joints are aching you have known a better day.
