Lyrics
0:04A doctor friend of mine
0:07I'd see from time to time
0:10Had a design for his longevity
0:15He said, "Exercise, my friend, that is the key
0:20Exercise is what extends our life expectancy"
0:26And when he sadly died
0:28At the age of 35
0:31Getting his clothes caught in a gym machine
0:36The irony brought home to me
0:41What you and I should take all this to mean
0:47Let's fall in love
0:51Before we get too old
0:54Ignoring all the reasons not to
0:58No long term plans
1:02Just be Pеter Pans
1:05Hang onto my hand and hold
1:10Now, before wе get too old
1:18A gentleman I knew
1:20Let his funds accrue
1:23Until he'd a sizeable annuity
1:28Saved, scrimped, cut back, forty-seven years
1:33Planning to retire and sail the World on holiday
1:39But tragic came the news
1:41First day of his cruise
1:44Slipped on a gangplank in the pouring rain
1:49He saw the Earth
1:52On traction in his berth
1:54And in reaction, I thought once again
2:01Let's fall in love
2:05Before we get too old
2:07The future we can never know
2:11Life is a car
2:15That's driving into snow
2:17So hang onto my hand and hold
2:23Now before we get too old
2:52A man a lot like me
2:54Proceeded cautiously
2:57Now this I see to be a great mistake
3:02Postpone the day to make your hay
3:07You might find you can no longer lift your rake
3:14Let's fall in love
3:18Before we get too old
3:20We never get those days again
3:24Some people say
3:28You should 'squirrel things away'
3:30I say plant them and let's see what grows
3:36Tomorrow never ever knows
3:41Just hang onto my hand and hold
3:46Before we get too old
