Nobody wants to grow Old [Song]

NOBODY WANTS TO GROW OLD
By Lord Beginner

Like the ladies universally made a vow
Making up and painting up is all the fashion now
Like the ladies universally made a vow
Making up and painting up is all the fashion now
They are dying their hair and bleaching their face
They are building hips and reducing waist
It is difficult to say as you go along your way
To tell the old from the young today

Nobody want to get old at all
The old age pension may be too small
Nobody want to get old at all.

A woman is so beautiful with plenty hair
But now they shaving it and cutting it here and there
They don't like their eyelashes for they cuts them small
They are painting up their fingers and their toes and all
They have the different colour wigs to suit each head
And they takes them off at night when they going to bed
Some will say is curious, the faces now are dangerous
The complexions are numerous.

Nobody want to get old at all
I see them all 'round the dancing hall
Nobody want to get old at all.

It is true this modern makeup, you can plainly see
That old women got this comeback opportunity
They are hiding up their wrinkles and their grey hair too
They are polishing their eyebrows and they're looking new
The young and old are painting up, goodness knows
And you can hardly tell the difference when you see them pose
This modern age is full of strife with this kind of makeup life
It is hell now to find a wife.

Nobody want to get old at all
Seems like Peter will pay for Paul
Nobody want to get old at all.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Lord Beginner.  

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
