Your geritol or your medicare

'Cause I still got neon in my veins

This gray hair don't mean a thing
I do my rockin' on the stage
You can't put this possum in a cage
My body's old but it ain't impaired
I don't need your rockin' chair
I ain't ready for the junkyard yet
'Cause I still feel like a new Corvette
It may take a little longer but I'll get there
Well I don't need your rockin' chair

Retirement don't fit in my plans
You can keep your seat I'm a gonna stand
An Eskimo needs a Fridgedaire (sp?)
Like I need your rockin' chair

My body's old but it ain't impaired
I don't need your rockin' chair
