So you're a senior citizen now
Well, congratulations friend!
You've reached the point of no return
The beginning of the end
You know it's all downhill from here
At least that's what they say
No job, no boss, no work to do
And don't forget -- no pay!
You're on what's called a "fixed income
As much as they allow
Mine wasn't broke, I told them so
But they fixed it anyhow!
And oh yes, another thing
You'll be eating cheaper now
Won't have to buy delicious foods
Can't eat them anyhow.
The doctors say, "You gotta watch your weight!"
"Your cholesterol's way too high!"
And you need to get that blood pressure down
Or else you're gonna die
!And many other benefits, We didn't talk about
Bifocals, bunions, "Meals on Wheels"
It's enough to make you shout!
So have fun, enjoy and laugh a lot
No need of being blue.
You've waited most of your life for this
And now it's all come true
So, cheer up friend,as you join in
And don't be sad or glum
Just have all the fun you can while you can
For the worst is yet to come
