I'm Past My Prime lyrics by Emily Skinner & Alice Ripley
I'm Past My Prime (duet)I'm past my prime What a shame
And I'm losing time Guess the old clock's run down
Seventeen last spring My, what a wasted life
Still without a ring When will you be a wife
I'm past my peak You're an early antique
look at this physique Just hear the old bones creak
Where there was a glow There ain't a glow no more
Now the wrinkles show Where art Thou Romeo
Who'd think of marryin' an octogenerian
Oh, me,oh,my
Eighty-seven year old hag
When you's in this position you'll lose your disposition
Oh,me,oh,my
All the time it's nag, nag, nag
Lifes like a song And the happiest thing
When you're young and strong Most every day is spring
But it's just a crime You can't get off the dime
When you're past your prime
You's past your prime Gettin grumpy and grey
You's on over time Ain't makin take-home pay
Every sun that sets All through the day I frets
Brings ya more regrets And larger silhouettes
You's climb the heights I is over the hill
Of romantic nights My hand has lost it's skill
Comes the cruel dawn I's feelin' pale and drawn
Lover boy has gone Dog gone!
I ask you who's elated when you's Methusilated
Oh, me,oh,my
When you is antiquated ors/and dejectaquated
Oh,me,oh,my
They'd prefer you in the round
Life's just like pie Huckleberry or peach?
When you're young and spry Heaven's within your reach
But it's just a crime How can it be sublime
When you're past your prime ?
When you're past your prime ?
When you're past your prime ?
