lyrics

five old men

me and my friends went out last night
i admit, we got a little tight
been a while since we hooted and hollered
undid our buttons and loosened our collars

here comes patty, out on the floor
whooping at the band to do it some more
three years they put her brother away
we're all wishing he were here today watching

five old men rockin' and rollin'
five old men still rockin' and rollin'

waitresses dancing on the way to the kitchen
everybody losing their inhibition
white hair, grey hair, some got none
everybody grooving and having fun

old couples moving close and slow
bold women grabbing men they don't know
work is hard, bones were aching
now here we are just mixing and shaking to

five old men rockin' and rollin'
five old men still rockin' and rollin'

come on honey, show how you do it
mama says there's nothing to it

sure did have fun last night
some of us got a little tight
been too long since we'd hooted and hollered
undid our buttons and opened our collars

sometimes things get a little hazy
we're all worried that the world's gone crazy
too much taking, not enough giving
one thing still makes you happy that you're living and it's

five old men rockin' and rollin'
five old men still rockin' and rollin'

Karen’s baby diary reads, "20 months, knows 6 songs." Her mother, a big band singer, was not surprised to find her constantly dancing and singing.

"A voice with this much strength and easy confidence is a rare find. Her songs are filled with good humor, sensuality and nature's simple pleasures. She can work a sly smile into a lyric that makes you smile in spite of yourself." All Music Guide ... more
