NOW I’M SIXTY-FOUR
Ayrton Mugnaini Jr.

When I was little, very young
I really had nightmares
If I got older would I need
A cane or some wheelchair?
Old age seemed a painful problem
But not anymore
Look at me, it just can't be but
Now I'm sixty-four

I'm still healthy
Full of energy and joy
I may be elderly
But I am still a boy

Many folks say many things
But I have found some truth
The less excess in drugs and suchlike,
The more room for youth
Now I’m old and have more luck
Than what I bargained for
A road this long could not be wrong, so
Now I'm sixty-four

I have my right
No work should make me blue
I do what I like
And I like what I do

All I eat and all I sleep
Is always just enough
But I’m always making art
Be it pretty, smooth or rough
I know love’s a master key
That opens many a door
And it’s nice to realise that
Now I'm sixty-four
If old age is this I want more, please,
Yes, now I’m sixty-four
