Poets always speak of youth
with such admiration
But we all must face the truth,
age has many a com
pensation
When I was younger,
when I was younger,
For nightlife I used to hunger,
I sleep easier now.
When I was cuter,
when I was cuter,
Each night meant another suit or,
I sleep easier now.
In the olden days at 10 p .m.
I'd be neckin' in a hack,
but this evening when it's 10 p .m.
you will find me hittin' that sack.
When I was snappier,
when I was snappier
I made lots of boyfriends happier
but I sleep easier now
I sleep easier now when
I was greener
when I was greener for late
parties I was keener.
I sleep easier now.
When I was smaller,
when I was smaller,
I sure entertained a caller.
I sleep easier now.
In the olden days at 10 p .m.
I'd be France and every place,
but this evening when it's 10 p .m.
I'll be putting grease on my face.
When I was ra cier,
when I was racier,
the nightgowns I wore were la cier.
I sleep easier now,
I sleep easier now
when I was
thrilling when I was thrilling
I said no but I was willing
I sleep easier now
when I was hoping
when I was hoping
I left all the doors wide open
I sleep easier now
in the olden days at 10 p .m.
I was giddy an d so gay.
I looked forward to an unpremeditated
role in the hay.
When I was voluptuous -er,
when I was voluptuous -er,
the boyfriends I had were lustier.
I sleep easier now.
Oh, I sleep easier now.
