Gray Is The New Blonde

I went to sleep a punk woke up a dapper gent
never mind the Sex Pistols I wonder where my Sinatra CD went
I might take a nap at noon or play some golf instead
I put on my bathrobe straw hat took my pill
and jumped up out of bed

Chorus

Medicine’s great
Old age is fun
Retirement’s cool
Gray is the new blonde
the new blonde

I’m still in love with my old lady she’s out at the tennis courts
I might hop on my HOG and go buy me some new Bermuda shorts
then we’ll catch the matinee or the early bird
or we’ll just snuggle up in bed
and once or twice a year I sip a martini in the tool shed

Chorus

Bridge

Some old geezer movie star is an 80 year old James Bond
gray is the new blonde
The young girls know the fashion they say “frost me” at the coolest hair salon
gray is the new blonde
The grand kids love Florida and shuffleboard and fishing with a cane pole
in a piddling pond
because gray is the new blonde

“Cary get out your cane”
gray is the new blonde
“Old man look in my eyes”
gray is the new blonde
“Youth is wasted on the young”
gray is the new blonde
