WELL YOU'RE GETTING OLD

Well you're getting old when you’ve outlived your enthusiasm
and if you lay in bed all day its because your backs in spasm
You’re getting old when you just can't stand intolerant people
or when your cup is always half empty and never is it half full
You’re getting old when you don’t look forward to your birthday
Or the best part of the paper is "Twenty-five years ago today”
When everything hurts and if it doesn't it doesn't work anymore
And your only exercise is with the friends you act as pallbearer for
You’re getting old when you always fall asleep in your armchair
Or when you have your teeth cleaned you don’t need to be there
You’re getting old when you’re helped across the road by a scout
Or you have that night before feeling when you haven't been out
When the glint in your eye is the sun on your glasses reflecting
Or when you sit in a rocking chair and can't get the thing rocking
