Don't You Forget Me

What can an old lady tell you
That you might want to know
What can an old lady sing
If it’s not Only The Beginning
I give you a piece of my heart
What else to impart
On this well worn path

Don’t you forget me
You won’t regret me
I’ll still sing if you let me
Let’s drink to getting old

It’s easy to be seduced
By those sirens’ calls
You gladly hand them your cock
But they want your balls
All I’ve got is my fading soul
And rock ’n roll
That takes its toll

Don’t you forget me
You won’t regret me
I’ll still sing if you let me
Let’s drink to getting old

The old and the withered
Were once the young and the strong
Make way make way
For the new youth to sing their song
I’ve moved off centre stage
Traded all that for wisdom or rage
Or a little of both

Don’t you forget me
You won’t regret me
I’ll still sing if you let me
Let’s drink to getting old

Let’s make some heaven
In this place that feels like hell
Get over here baby
You know how to ring my bell
So it’s you and me
Got our grandchildren on my knee
That’s distinctly sexy

Don’t you forget me
You won’t regret me
I’ll still sing if you let me
Let’s drink to getting old
