Lyric 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.
