Happy Birthday! "Old"-man!?

 Happy Birthday! Old-man!

"75" was Silver! "50" (I wish for) was Gold!

"76"! Sure-enough! Reckon-so! is just "Old"!

I don't mind!? Just put on another sweater!

Much unlike the alternative, "76" is better!

My mind is "18"! But I am just "still" me!

If I don't behave, she'll probably kill me!

One nice thing about "3" digits in any final tally

Nobody else cares and I always forget how to rally

So? If you're my friend just remember this rhyme

I hang out with "old" folks so that I can still shine

I can cheat 'em at checkers and steal "antes" at stud-poker

Thy don't worry about their wives thinking I'm just a joker

I've begun to hate Sundays! Always "back to the home!"

I feel "broken and gnawed-on" like a doggy's old bone

Happy Birthday! Huh? Me? I forgot! Happy Birthday!

Damn! It's 8 pm! They've put me to bed and won't let me play!

But---tomorrow's a new day...Excitement! adventure! Surprise!

More-of-the-same!? If I can only remember to once more arise!?

Happy Birthday! Sincerely said to old "What's his name"!?

I love a party! If I don't get one, mow, that's a real shame!

I can't be too old!  Still know a little about "what's what"!?

I'll tell you something---Uh! Er?...Gee! Again I forgot!?

Happy Birthday! Sincerely said to old "What's his name"!?

I love a party! If I don't get one, mow, that's a real shame!

(Somebody laughed that I already said that? I'm not to blame?)

Anyway!---I'm not old!?...Just "More-of-the-same!?"

Happy Birthday! Sincerely said to old "What's his name"!?

I love a party! If I don't get one, mow, that's a real shame!

Amen!
