i need to quit smoking
and to start losing weight!
'cause my life is a drag
i'm tired of "paying the freight"
this "peter pan" has got grey hair
that is...the hair i have left
my "spare-tire" fits a semi
i'm middle aged, and bereft!
and smoking is killing me!
and every bite turns to fat
and it's time for a change!
and...was it me that said that?
drinking no longer thrills me
smoking pot's no more fun
i've dropped out of the "rat-race"
'cause i can no longer run!
and...please don't think i've gone senile!
just because my hair's greying
and my memories perfect!
er...um...what was i saying?
and smoking is killing me!
and every bite turns to fat
and it's time for a change
and...was it me that said that?!?
