Barnum movie - Thank God I'm Old lyrics

<br>

Joyce Heth:<br>

<br>

When you see the shape the world is in<br>

When the way it is ain't what it's been<br>

When folks just care for gold,<br>

Thank God, I'm old<br>

When you take a gander at the news<br>

When you hear the language people use<br>

When no sweet songs are sung<br>

I don't wanna be young<br>

<br>

Daddy time he<br>

Doesn't fret me<br>

Should he spy me<br>

That don't upset me<br>

Let him eye me<br>

Come and get me<br>

That's fine by me<br>

Age don't worry me<br>

<br>

When you see the way folks misbehave<br>

When it's only good times that they crave<br>

When kids are much too bold<br>

Thank God, I'm old<br>

When there ain't no He-Men left alive<br>

When they tell you three men out of five<br>

End up locked up or hung<br>

I don't wanna be young.<br>

<br>

(Dance Break)<br>

<br>

Gonna get me dressed and powdered down<br>

Call myself a hack and go to town<br>

See every shady street<br>

These feet once strolled.<br>

Then I'm gonna slip back on the shelf<br>

Have myself a nip and tell myself<br>

Though my back buckles and bends<br>

My hair's got silvery ends<br>

When I see all of my friends<br>

Laid out and cold<br>

Thank God, I'm Old!<br>

<br>
