(no subject)
I had birthday, my oh my,
I turned into an older guy,
An older guy is what the girls will say.
When they try to tell their mom and dad
That maybe it won't be so bad;
At least he's got a job and isn't grey - yet.
It's right around the corner, yeah,
The time is sneaking up;
It keeps on getting faster every year.
But I'll be happy as can be
with pretty girls too young for me
They talk and talk, but I can barely hear.
I have a girl of twenty five,
She hasn't even been alive
As long as I've been playing this guitar.
She treats me like a little boy,
I must admit I do enjoy
Pretending that I'm younger than I are.
And, she wants to start a family,
But in a year or so
I may not have the strength to raise a kid
'Cos if a child rides piggy back I think you would hear a crack
And see me break in two just like a twig.
I had a birthday yesterday,
It came and went and now today
It's time to get back to my normal life.
For I'll forget how old am I
And go down to the junior high
To see if any girl will be my wife.
No, I don't think that it'll happen
And you probably think I'm wrong
For chasing younger girls in leather boots,
But I'm as harmless as can be,
I'll show you if you want to see;
My gun will aim but it no longer shoots.

Great song despite the bad grammar.
