Lyrics
25 Is Half My Age
1st Verse
You'd never guess I'm anywhere, near 51.
I look closer to 25, you'd think that must be wrong.
If I date the average woman, close to my age.
You might think I'm her son, and that's what you might say.
2nd Verse
You may wonder how a guy my age, could ever look so young
I'll tell you what I can, about how it was done.
I've never been married, never had any kids.
My jobs have been part-time, and I've always been thin.
Chorus
If you guess that I'm, about 25.
In a way you could say, that you're half right.
You'll be surprised at the next thing, that I have to say
Because 25, is really half my age.
3rd Verse
I'm getting looks from girls, who are way too young for me.
If they knew how old I was, it could cause them to freak.
At my job I'm known as Curly, cause my hair has been that way.
But now it's going straight, why it's happened I can't say.
(Chorus)
