[BERTHE]
When you are as old as I, my dear
And I hope that you never are
You will woefully wonder why, my dear
Through your cataracts and catarrh
You could squander away or sequester
A drop of a precious year
For when your best days are yester
The rester twice as dear....
What good is a field on a fine summer night
When you sit all alone with the ** **s?
Or a succulent pear if with each juicy bite
You spit out your teeth with the seeds?
Before its too late stop trying to wait
For fortune and fame youre secure of
For theres one thing to be sure of, mate:
Theres nothing to be sure of!
Oh, its time to start livin
Time to take a little from this world were given
Time to take time, cause spring will turn to fall
In just no time at all....
Ive never wondered if I was afraid
When there was a challenge to take
I never thought about how much I weighed
When there was still one piece of cake
Maybe its meant the hours Ive spent
Feeling broken and bent and unwell
But theres still no cure more heaven-sent
As the chance to raise some hell
Everybody....
[ALL]
Oh, its time to start livin
Time to take a little from this world were given
Time to take time , cause spring will turn to fall
In just no time at all....
Now when the drearies do attack
And a siege of the sads begins
I just throw these noble shoulders back
And lift these noble chins
Give me a man who is handsome and strong
Someone whos stalwart and steady
Give me a night thats romantic and long
And give me a month to get ready
Now I could waylay some aging roue
And persuade him to play in some cranny
But its hard to believe Im being led astray
By a man who calls me granny
[ALL]
Oh, its time to start livin
Time to take a little from this world were given
Time to take time, cause spring will turn to fall
In just no time at all....
Oh, its time to start livin
Time to take a little from this world were given
Time to take time, cause spring will turn to fall
In just no time at all....
Sages tweet that age is sweet
Good deeds and good work earns you laurels
But what could make you feel more obsolete
Than being noted for your morals ?
Here is a secret I never have told
Maybe youll understand why
I believe if I refuse to grow old
I can stay young till I die
Now, Ive known the fears of sixty-six years
Ive had troubles and tears by the score
But the only thing Id trade them for
Is sixty-seven more....
Oh, its time to keep livin
Time to keep takin from this world were given
You are my time, so Ill throw off my shawl
And watching your flings be flung all over
Makes me feel young all over
[BETHE AND BOYS]
In just no time at all....
