Lyrics

How old is 75? So old that you're hardly alive It's a number that's weighty In five years, you'll be 80 Poised weigh up there on the high Diving board Tell me, how old is 75? My minute of 74 The way I thought she'll get a little bit more Turned she gets what she gets So why get upset And we all wanted a little bit more time a-new A minute in 74 And my daddy, he kicked at 62 Weigh too young, but then what can you do? When ones number is up There is no prenup Type agreement between God and you My dad, he kicked at 62 And so we proceed to go hence In a hope, some of it made some sense We got a lot on our mouths what gets done is what counts What time wasted on, was it well spent? Did ya do as you're chose, like you're meant? And I'm having a party this year I'm inviting all those dear in need I may need a lift if you get my drift And I'm hoping you all will be here then I'm having a party this year But I know some of you won't be there I suppose you could be anywhere In the heater of soil Free from sorrow and toil You'll be missed, but you don't really care anymore I know some of you won't be there Tell me, how old is 75? So old that you're barely alive In five years, I'll be 80 I will hear the fat lady Belly fat chopped knife swan dive Or a canning ball of a high diving board Tell me, how old is 75?
