<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Are we ever too old?&nbsp; Well, maybe yes.&nbsp; I&rsquo;m stunned that I wrote this almost twenty years ago; the song feels all the more relevant two decades later.&nbsp; Rock on!</span></p>

Lyrics

<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I pointed out to my wife that every single night&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We just fight&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;for the remote control.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">And our sofa&rsquo;s got impressions -- really rather deep depressions --</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">From us sitting there while we grow old.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We&rsquo;ve got a running head start on becoming old farts;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Every evening is <em>d&eacute;j&agrave; vu.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I said, &ldquo;We&rsquo;d better shake these habits before they can grab us;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Let&rsquo;s do what we used to do.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s swing; let&rsquo;s twist; let&rsquo;s jump and jive the night away.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Let&rsquo;s have a fling, kick up our heels like when we jitterbugged in younger days.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I want to move to a saxophone low-down and dirty;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">It&rsquo;ll help me forget about ever turning thirty.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Let&rsquo;s swing; let&rsquo;s twist; let&rsquo;s jump and jive the night away.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Now, there used to be a time when we thought it was a crime</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">To get caught hanging around at home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We were out there on the town making all the rounds</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Of every club with music we had known.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We&rsquo;d be rockin&rsquo; and rollin&rsquo;, struttin&rsquo; and strollin&rsquo;;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We&rsquo;d boogie down with all our hearts.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">And there were even days in our natty disco phase</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">When we feverishly dressed the part.</span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We would swing; we would twist; we would jump and jive the night away.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We&rsquo;d have a fling, kick up our heels when we jitterbugged in younger days.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We would move to a saxophone low down and dirty;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">It made us resolve we were never turning thirty.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We&rsquo;d swing; we&rsquo;d twist; we&rsquo;d jump and jive the night away.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">&ldquo;Oh, I&rsquo;ll go if you&rsquo;ll go,&rdquo; I said.&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll go if you&rsquo;ll go,&rdquo; she said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We limbered up our muscles, stepped out on the floor,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Filled with high hopes&nbsp; . . .&nbsp; instead &nbsp;. . .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">. . . &nbsp;I&rsquo;m here to tell you sadly that the evening ended badly,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">But I bet you all had your doubts.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Instead of scootin&rsquo; and shufflin&rsquo; we were huffin&rsquo; and puffin&rsquo;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">After not that many twists and shouts.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">It hurt like hell when she tore her ACL</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Swiveling two ways at once;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I&rsquo;m sure I slipped a disc when I reached and badly missed</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Her embrace; I&rsquo;ll be down for months.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We tried to swing; we tried to twist; we tried to jump and jive the night away.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I tried to fling her in the air like when we jitterbugged in younger days.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Instead of being indestructible, we fulfilled deductibles</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">For something like a lifetime and a half.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We tried to swing; we tried to twist; we tried to jump and jive the night away.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We tried to swing; we tried to twist; we tried to jump and jive the night away.</span></p>
