If the sounds your body's making Leave no guesswork for the taking And you find that you are baking Yet another apple pie

For a party that you're hosting- Don't forget the meat is roasting! - Someone stands; begins their toasting Of another year gone by.

If you Snap, Crackle, and pop Picking up the keys you drop And you know you're gonna stop At the very next rest room.

Va-va-voom has vanished Think of learning to speak Spanish And the rock and roll's been banished To the Van out by the barn.

You say that you are thrifty You use a word like 'nifty' And the thought of turning fifty Is a pleasant memory.

Was it this year or the last one When he promised you some fast fun If his old jalopy would run Take that trip up to the lake?

And the sun is quickly setting On another year, Here's betting That more time in hammock netting Is much easier to take.

As your nightcap you are sipping Rocking slowly, watch the tipping, Another day goes slipping Joining more that have gone by.

Than the days that lie before you It's amazing that they're brand new Every thought leads to what is true Share the memories with others passing by.
