Septuagenarian

So isn’t it apropos
That at the rate I’m letting go
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian
Feel the building back begin
Feel the affirmation creeping in
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian

Except that
My generation was born
Born to be free
Free to be bored and I want to be
Sporting a Baby Bjorn
Babies are there to be worn
But parents, beware and be warned
You’ve just been barely informed
Of this sucker’s economy
Daily you suckers are born
You suckers are born to lose
You losers are stuck in this musical comedy
Ha ha ha

Hey, and that’s the play within the play
And it feels so-so
And at the rate I’m letting go
It will feel so bizarrely wonderful and wonderfully bizarre

So isn’t it apropos
That at the rate I’m letting go
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian
Feel the building back begin
Feel the affirmation creeping in
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian

It’s all
Sketch comedy
Low
Sex
Prop comedy
Black
F bomb comedy
High
Dot com comedy
Rom comedy
70-something years to avail
All the 70 dumb things I do on the daily
Then suddenly me and my eons of being beyond the pale
Will just settle and suddenly
Ha ha ha

Hey, and that’s the play within the play
And it feels so-so
And at the rate I’m letting go
It will feel so bizarrely wonderful and wonderfully bizarre

So isn’t it apropos
That at the rate I’m letting go
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian
Feel the building back begin
Feel the affirmation creeping in
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian
I’ll accept what I am
When I’m a septuagenarian
