The Aging Song - Female

by Kathy Holler
(Edmonton, AB, Canada)

I've always written silly ditties and poems.
Sung to the tune of My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean




My body is falling to pieces
My eyesight is going to hell
My hair is turning much grayer
I don’t think I’m doing so well

Chorus
Bring back, oh bring back
Bring back my youth to me, to me
Bring back, oh bring back
Don’t leave me in misery

I’ve noticed a whole lot of wrinkles
Where once none used to be
I’m sure that I’ve gotten much shorter
And my boobs will soon hit my knees

My brain cells are leaving in bunches
My body is starting to scream
I’m still hot but now it’s in flashes
Please tell me that this is a dream

I thought I would never get older
I’d always be young and so free
But the truth looks back from the mirror
Oh Lord, is that really me!
