Don’t Count Me Out
Play MP3
I’m middle-aged at last
I’ve waited for this era
My best is in my past
My worst is getting nearer
I’m bursting at the seams
With goodies I’ve been eating
But still I have my dreams
Of girls I could be meeting
Don’t count me out
Still count me in
There’s life left in my liver
Catch me on a moonlit night
By God, I might deliver
I’ll meet you on the internet
Along with many others
That I could not before have met –
Single girls and mothers
With the biggest choice in history
It’s time to take my chances –
Relive again the mystery
Of young love and romances
Don’t count me out
Still count me in
There’s life left in my liver
Catch me on a moonlit night
By God, I might deliver
My technique is undoubted
My strike rate is perfected
For every five I’ve routed
By ten I’ve been rejected
But no longer am I fearful
The odds are in my favour
I will not leave you tearful
I’m such a gentle raver
Don’t count me out
Still count me in
There’s life left in my liver
Catch me on a moonlit night
By God, I might deliver
Our children are delighted
But bamboozled and uncertain
How passion is ignited
So close to final curtain
But relieved to get us off their case
They ask for nothing more –
‘When playing music round the place
Be sure to close the door’
Don’t count me out
Still count me in
There’s life left in my liver
Catch me on a moonlit night
By God, I might deliver
We’re older now and wiser
We make much better friends
We’ve bought our shares in Pfizer
We know the music ends
The time it goes so fast
How sweet this loving spree!
I’m middle-aged at last
My kids wait up for me
Don’t count me out
Still count me in
There’s life left in my liver
Catch me on a moonlit night
By God, I might deliver
Don’t count me out
Still count me in
There’s life left in my liver
Catch me on a moonlit night
By God, I might deliver
