There is nothing the matter with me
I'm healthy as can be
I have arthritis in both my knees
When I talk I talk with a wheeze
My pulse is weak and my blood is thin
But I'm awfully well for the shape I am in
Arch supports I have for my feet
Or I wouldn't be able to be in the street
Sleep is denied me night after night
But every morning I find I'm alright
My memory is fading, my head is a spin
But I'm awfully well for the shape I am in
The moral is this as my tale I unfold
Thats for me and you who are growing old
Its better to say " I am fine" with a grin
Than to let folks know the shape you are in!!!
