I’m the other side of fifty
And my bark is now my bite!

The Other Side of Fifty!

I’ve done the cocktail circuit

‘Have smiled 'till my face aches

‘Now free to be the quirky ME

I’m finished with the ‘fakes.’

‘Sick to death of dinner parties

And having to make nice

I’d rather be in Vegas

‘Shaking hands with all the dice.

‘Ain’t getting any younger

The world is at my feet

It’s Paris, Prague, and Budapest

And dancin’ in the street!

I may have many ailments

But the one I like the best

Brings joy to me like nothing else

Its name is “Empty Nest!”

So if I swear and gorge bon bons

Or stay out late at night

I’m the other side of fifty

And my bark is now my bite!
