Lyrics
(YOU GET) OLD IF YOU?RE LUCKY
BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNG,
THERE WAS WHISKEY AND COCAINE
BUT NOWADAYS
IT'S VIAGRA AND ROGAINE
YOU GET OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
AND THAT'S A FACT
YOU GET OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
LIFE'S A DEATH-DEFYING ACT
YOU CAN EXERCISE
AND EAT RIGHT
BUT STILL GET HIT BY A TRUCK
AS YOU'RE CROSSIN AT THE LIGHT
OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
AND THAT'S THE TRUTH
OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
WE ALL WANT TO BE LONG IN THE TOOTH
NOW YOU MAY NOT HAVE
ANY GRAY HAIRS IN YOUR HEAD
BUT YOU CAN STILL GO TO BED HEALTHY
AND WAKE UP DEAD
OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
AND THAT'S NO LIE
OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
EVERYONE SAYS BYE-BYE
BYE BYE
THEY SAY THAT JESUS DIED
AT THE AGE OF 33
GOD DIDN'T GIVE HIS SON
A LIFETIME GUARANTEE
YOU GET OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
AND THAT'S FOR REAL
OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
I HOPE I HAVEN'T HAD MY LAST MEAL
WHEN I WAS YOUNG
THERE WAS WHISKY AND COCAINE
BUT NOWADAYS
IT'S VIAGRA AND ROGAINE
YOU GET OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
AND THAT'S A FACT
YOU GET OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
LIFE'S A DEATH-DEFYING ACT
YOU GET OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
(OLD IF YOU?RE LUCKY )
YOU GET OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
(OLD IF YOU?RE LUCKY)
YOU GET OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
(OLD IF YOU?RE LUCKY)
SO OLD
(SO OLD)
SO OLD
(SO OLD)
YOU GET OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
LIFE'S A DEATH-DEFYING ACT
YOU GET OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
(OLD IF YOU?RE LUCKY )
YOU GET OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
(OLD IF YOU?RE LUCKY)
SO OLD IF YOU'RE LUCKY
(OLD IF YOU?RE LUCKY)
I?M DECREPIT
SO OLD IF YOU?RE LUCKY
LIFE?S A DEATH DEFYING ACT
