youth and money

I've got everything I need 

except youth and money

you might think it's funny

but that's the score

I've got peace of mind

and local honey

but youth and money

I just want more and more

I remember old days

playing poker in the den

wish it would be again

I would be so rich

now I am an old man

I do what I'm told

but, man, this growing old

is a son of a bitch

I've got everything I want

except youth and money

days used to be sunny

now they're cloudy and gray

my energy is fading

and my eggs are all runny

they sit in my tummy

till the end of the day

I remember old days

everything was classic

days made of elastic

that's when I was young

now I am an old man

I'm not much of a talker

I use a cane and walker

and my songs have all been sung

I've got everything I need

except youth and money

now let me tell you, sonny

old age has arrived

I'm like Brando in the 50s

I coulda been somebody

I could have youth and money

but at least I'm alive
