Get out and do something
I don’t know
We’ll both go at the same time
This is the world I think
My mother married, she was 13
The time went so fast
We’re all getting older
I’m a married man
Happy every day
I want to look good and feel good
We were against all these bourgeios institutions
In the 40s New York was wide open
I felt like a Goddess in it
Life is strung together by great moments
I like myself
I love my years
It gives me a high
I was very mischievous
I’m in pretty good shape
I went out to shine shoes
I was once this age
Could it have been worse?
You gotta get out in the dating game
I thank G-D for letting me live this long
We were married 46 years
I can’t eat
I never tell my age
After 50 we all shrink
Every nationality lived there
From the shoulders up I’m 25
You learn every day
No phonies in our family
The most wonderful time for me…
You waited a long time to see him
I don’t feel old
Just keep going
