FORTY

FORTY, MY LEVIS JUST DON'T FIT BECAUSE I'M FORTY.
FORTY, THESE DAYS I LIKE TO SIT BECAUSE I'M FORTY
IT'S GETTIN' HARDER JUST TO FACE THE DAY,
THE OLDER I GET THE LESS I HAVE TO SAY,
NOBODY LISTENS TO ME ANYWAY,
AND BY THE TIME MY SONG IS DONE,
I'M GONNA BE, FORTY ONE.

FORTY, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D EVER LIVE TO BE FORTY
FORTY, OH, WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE TO NOT BE FORTY,
EVERYONE TELLS ME I LOOK YOUNG FOR MY AGE.
EVERYDAY ADDS ONE MORE BAR TOO MY CAGE,
EVERYTHING SEEMS TO PUT ME IN A RAGE.
AND BY THE TIME THIS SONG IS DONE,
I'M GONNA BE, FORTY ONE.

FORTY, I JUST GAINED TWENTY POUNDS AND I'M FORTY.
FORTY, SO I'LL HAVE A FEW MORE ROUNDS BECAUSE I'M FORTY
THIS YEAR THE CANDLES THEY OUTWEIGHED MY CAKE,
THESE DAYS IT'S GETTIN' HARD TO STAY AWAKE,
HERE COMES ANOTHER YEAR I'LL HAVE TO FAKE,
AND BY THE TIME THIS SONG IS DONE,
I'M GONNA BE, FORTY ONE.

FORTY, MY WAIST LINE AND MY AGE THEY ARE BOTH FORTY 
FORTY, THEY SAY LIFE'S JUST ONE BIG STAGE BUT THEY'RE NOT FORTY.
WHEN I WOKE UP I HAD A BRAND NEW PAIN,
SOMEBODY TOLD ME I SHOULD BLAME THE RAIN,
I WONDER WHY I HAVEN'T GONE INSANE,
AND BEFORE THIS SONG IS THROUGH,
I'LL PROBABLY BE FORTY TWO.

(SPOKEN)
FORTY! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I MEAN MENTALLY I ONLY FEEL ABOUT 37. 
I GUESS I'M GONNA HAVE TO FORGET ABOUT THAT PRO BALL CAREER!
