All I Want For Christmas

I have a Christmas wish that I know Santa won't be able to full fill

But I'm hoping for a miracle since I am now considered over the hill

It seems like I spend more of my time taking a lot of medication

And it doesn't take much for me to loose my concentration

I have to wear Bi-Focals just so I am able to see

And then there is the arthritis I have in my knees

My hair is grey so I have to rely on rinses, bleaches and dyes

And I have to watch what I eat so it doesn't go straight to my thighs

Body parts are sagging, parts that I didn't realize that could - oh what a horrible stage

But I guess that is what happens once you reach a certain age

I sure in the heck don't move like I use to back in the day

And every ache and every pain I carefully survey

I no longer dress sexy I now wear what they call old granny clothes

So much for garter-belts they have been replaced with old granny hose

Oh, I forgot to mention the corns that are now on my toes

And the fact I get so tired I doze off right in the middle of my shows

All I want for Christmas is to have a body that doesn't require

A label that reads "if not used by" it will expire

Well it looks like Santa has a challenge ahead of him this year

Because as I see it getting old has been nothing but a pain in the rear.
