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 birtday



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.
