Getting Old Ain't For Sissies
Explosive Northern Soul-style floor-filler with a fast tempo, punchy horns, clapping hands, tambourines, and bold, emotional vocals, The bassline drives the groove with relentless energy while retro drums and a sparkling piano deliver nonstop momentum, Gritty and joyful, this is a postcard from a night of pure movement and ecstatic release, The vocal delivery should be energetic but tuneful, avoiding shouting, while capturing the wild spirit of a packed dancefloor, This is a soul bomb dropped straight into the jukebox

Lyrics
Melodic Intro
Verse
It's easy to be young
Life's a bowl of cherries…
You just drift along being you
The result seldom varies…
You recover quickly...
You bounce back on the next step
And because you don't have experience
You go boldly and never prep.
bring excitement
That may give you a rush
But when you know what can happen
You face temptations and blush
Chorus
"But let me tell you... "
Getting old ain't for sissies
Getting old isn’t a curse
You may feel more tired
You may feel a little worse
But getting old means that you are alive
But to get old, only the strong survive
Solo Verse
Verse
Everything changes when you are older
Time speeds up as you age
People matter more than things
And you wake up and think... everything changed
You develop different habits
You stop before you go
You don't do the thing like everyone else
"Well", Because you already know
Pre Chorus
As you age sleep isn’t optional
Your Body is keeping the score
You have to make a list
Because you forget when you get to the store
Chorus
"Like I said before..."
Getting old ain't for sissies
Getting old isn’t a curse
You may feel more tired
You may feel a little worse
But getting old means that you are alive
But to get old, only the strong survive
Extended Solo Verse
Bridge
So as you get older remember
Not to spend more than you make
Your health is your wealth really
You'll learn to curse every ache
So join the anti-technology rebellion
It's going to catch up to you one day
When your body goes on strike
You'll know exactly what I say…
Pre Chorus
You can't judge an old book by its cover
I promise it's seen more action than you
It doesn't matter what you say
It only matters what you do.
Chorus
"So you know whe I tell you..."
Getting old ain't for sissies
Getting old isn’t a curse
You may feel more tired
You may feel a little worse
But getting old means that you are alive
But to get old, only the strong survive
