Lyrics:

THE OLDIE SONG

Written by Mark Wright

When I was young 'bout six or seven

I used to pray to Heaven for the prettiest girl for all to see

She'd have deep sea blue eyes, honey hair, and a pretty smile

But this is what my mummy said to me...

She said,

"You're all gonna grow old at the end of the day

And the looks you have will surely fade away

So you better make sure the one you're with has got something to say

'Cause you're all gonna get old at the end of the day."

Well I met a girl and I liked her fine

And I swore that I'd make her mine

I said, "Baby, will you marry me?"

She said,

"Although I like you fine I just think I'll bide my time

I want an iron-man to look right after me."

But we're all gonna grow old at the end of the day

And the looks we have will surely fade away

So you better make sure the one you're with has got something to say

'Cause we're all gonna get old at the end of the day

Now I'm a man at 32

And I've learned a thing or two

And many pretty girls now have I seen

Some have lived life way too fast

And others have just been a pain in the ass

So now I want 'good mind'

If you know what I mean

'Cause we're all gonna grow old at the end of the day

And the looks we have will surely fade away

So you better make sure the one you're with has got something to say

'Cause we're all gonna get old at the end of the day

So when I'm in my rocking chair

In cardigans and with no hair

With more years behind than in front of me

I'll have my girl right next to me

In perfect synchronicity

Laughing like were seventeen...
