Leslie's Birthday is Today!

Today is Leslie's birthday. To see how young she is today, read the adaptation I wrote based on Sammy Hagar's song "I Can't Drive 55," below. To enjoy the adaptation, you need to play the song first. You can find it on YouTube.

 YOU DON’T LOOK SIXTY-TWO

[In the style of Sammy Hagar]

One foot in the grave and one on the ground?

No, there’s too much living, you’re gonna stick around.

Well, you sit up and do your stretching moves,
And you’re out of bed and into your groove…again!

So put on your makeup and all that goo,
Do in the morning what you gotta do,

Throw your SS card into the loo,

Cause you don’t look sixty-two!

Now you could call a halt today,

And SSI will send you your pay.

Oh, you can retire, and you will be fine,

All you gotta do is sign on the line!

But put on your makeup and all that goo,
Do in the morning what you gotta do,

Throw your SS card into the loo,

Cause you don’t look sixty-two!

Used to, you could work all day;

But four hours is now okay.

Yet you’ll never slow down, and you’ll never stop,

For as long as you can cha and bop.

So put on your makeup and all that goo,
Do in the morning what you gotta do,

Throw your SS card into the loo,

Cause you don’t look sixty-two!

No, you… don’t… look… sixty-two!
