Eyes met at soda fountain
that's when we fell in love
you and I together
fit like hand in glove

Frappes to tease the tastebuds
sipping from same straw
goo goo eyes 'n laughter
neither had a flaw

Waltzing close, then closer
heartbeats keeping time
kisses sweet as candy
our happiness divine

You loved me in the summer
and again each fall
we cuddled close come winter
in springtime had a ball

My wiggle, smooth 'n sensual
each step set you aglow
your eyes held gleam, a twinkle
hips swaying to and fro

You said you'd always need me
I was your Betty Boop
we'd grow old together
well,
you were full of poop

Age has paid a visit
shows beneath my skirt
my sea of love has withered
older now then dirt

Cryin in my tea, feelin sorry
deep-ends on bathroom floor
singing the blues to squirrels
that frolic at front door

Waltzing with my walker
teeth frowning on the shelf
hair now gray and thinning
parts be heading south

My wiggle now a wobble
Ben Gay my only friend
'cept for Arthur-itis
who calls me now and then

Attire of moo moo dresses
knee highs fallin down
ortho shoes for travel
belching into town

Toenails sharp as daggers
skin smooth as broken glass
everything jiggles 'n juggles
'specially my a$$

Boobs rest on my belly
or on the dinner tray
lunchtime's such a hassle
they're always in the way

The bedroom makes no music
'cept for moans 'n groans
constipation lingers
while settin on the throne

Still...
I always walked beside ya
adored that toothless grin
my knight in shining armor
'tho manhoods lookin grim

Held you tight each mornin
glad you were my man
'n even without viagra
loved ya just the same

Then,
somethin smelt quite fishy
a little like sardines
did you find another?
new playmate of your dreams?

Promised love forever
took ya for your word
with cane in hand as weapon
kicked ya to the curb

'Spose I might be crazy
for makin parting gift
exlax flavored brownies
just ta watch ya twitch

Now I sit here thinkin
'n giggling in my tea
I'd shoot ya 'tween brown eyes
if only I could see
