() When I was young this guy said to me…
Whoa guy, pace yourself This is the best year of your life
But what do old people know They say pace yourself where ever I go
When I was 1 my life was so much fun I napped pooped and played all day
When I was 4 I went to preschool Then came Kindergarden which was easy and cool
Next thing I know I’m entering 8th grade The best year of my life but my Drivers Lic is still 2 years way Now I can drive, but gas is not cheap I have to work 2 jobs to make ends meet
Now I am off to a big high school I am a Junior with a Lic so girls think I am cool My girlfriend wants to go to prom Now I have to work all summer long I spend my free nights and weekend days Studying for the SATs and sending applications away
I am finally on my way to college Eager to take all the really hard classes I want to stay up all night and learn all the noble gases
I met a girl and she wants to be my wife To me that seems really nice but now I have to work all day and night Because she wants to reproduce twice
A house, two cars, screaming kids will I ever win? Life is getting really tuff and now I am not sleeping enough
Now I am 65 and finally retired Time to enjoy my golden years I came to Fiji to surf and listen to the Bee Gees Not to put ice on my injured knees
So advice to all of you who can’t wait to grow up Relax, pace yourself because being old really sucks
