72 Miles From The Sea

Are you wearing Halloween spats?

Well I don’t like them much

But I have to admit that the spatter

Of blood is a very nice touch

I pretend to be someone I’m not

Just to receive something sweet

Which could be for Halloween

Or for a Valentine’s Day treat

You know you’re getting old

And youth has gone without a trace

When going bra-less

Pulls all the wrinkles out of your face

When a sexy young girl

Bends down to pick

Her car keys off the floor

You know that you are old

When your pacemaker

Opens the garage door

Old age is not caring so

Where your spouse goes

As long as you don't have to go

You know you’re getting old

So let the protests cease

When you’re cautioned to slow down

By the doctor instead of by the police

You simply have to face it

You are getting old I’d say

When "getting a little action" means

You don't need to take any fibre today
