Twenty Years Younger

TWENTY YEARS YOUNGER greg champion

Oh I wish I was twenty years younger

 even thirty years would suit me more

 okay, alright, forty years younger

that girl would be mine for sure

inside this crumbling carcass

your dreamboat lurks in here

but if I told you that you’d say -

make sure and leave it there

so I’m in this packed out, noisy pub

do I see what I see

 is that young thing really staring

straight and hard at me

oh, wake up pal you’re dreaming

do not deceive yourself

she obviously must be staring

at somebody else - but still sometimes ...

now if wishes were like fishes

yeah, if wishes all came true

I do not think the world could

operate that way, do you

that girl that caught your eye then

you’re older than her dad

you’re retired pal, so here’s to all

the happy times you’ve had - but still sometimes ...

I wish I was twenty years younger

 even thirty years would suit me more

 okay, alright, forty years younger

that girl would be mine for sure

inside this crumbling carcass

your dreamboat lurks in here

but if I told you that you’d say -

make sure and leave it there

inside this ageing body

your dreamboat lurks in here

but if I told you that you’d say -

make sure and leave it there
