Life Begins At 40

We'd like to welcome you here to the Dakota Country And Western Club

And in return for Miss Yoko Ono's wonderful gift of a very strange...

I'd like,this morning, to sing you a little ditty that occured to

me in the throes of my sleep

It's called "Life Begins At 40"



They say life begins at forty;

age is just a state of mind.

If all that's true,

you know, that I've been dead for thirty-nine.



And if life begins at forty,

well, i hope it ain't the same

it's been tough enough without that stuff

I don't wanna to be born again.



Well, I tried to sweep the slate clean

with a new broom ev'ry day

if that don't work,

I'll jerk around until my next birthday



yeah, life begins at forty,

age is just a state of mind.

Well, if all that's true

you know that I've been dead for thirty-nine.
