There’s nothing whatever the matter with me
Arthritis I have in both of my knees
And when I talk I speak with a wheeze
My pulse is weak and my blood is thin
But I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in
I think my liver is out of whack
A terrible pain I have in my back
My hearing is poor and my eye sight is dim
I’m practically living on aspirin
My dentures they cut, I’m restless at night
In the morning oh boy I’m a frightful sight.
My memory is failing, my heads in a spin
But I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in
Now the moral of this, as this tale unfolds
That for you and me who are growing old
It’s better to say “I’m fine” with a grin
Then to tell what a terrible shape I’m in.
