[Verse 1]
Styles keep a-changing, the world rearranging
But, Edna, you're timeless to me
Hemlines are shorter, a beer cost a quarter
But time cannot take what comes free
[Verse 2]
You're like a stinky old cheese, babe (Huh?)
Just getting riper with age (Oh)
You're like a fatal disease, babe (What?)
And there's no cure, so let this fever rage
[Verse 3]
Some folks can't stand it, say, time is a bandit
But I take the opposite view
'Cause when I need a lift, time brings a gift
Another day with you
[Verse 4]
A twist or a waltz is all the same schmaltz
With just a change in the scenery
You'll never be old hat, that's that
You're timeless to me (Oh, Wilbur)
[Verse 5]
Fads keep a-fading, Castro's invading
But, Wilbur, you're timeless to me
Hairdos are higher, mine feels like barbed wire
But you say, I'm chic as can be
[Verse 6]
You're like a rare, vintage ripple
A vintage they'll never forget
So, pour me a teeny-weeny triple
And we can toast the fact we ain't dead yet
[Verse 7]
I can't stop eating, your hairline's receding
And soon, there'll be nothing at all
So, you'll wear a wig while I roast a pig
Hey, pass the Geritol
[Verse 8]
Glenn Miller had brass, that Chubby Checker's a gas
But they all pass eventually
You'll never be passé, hip horray
You're timeless to me
[Verse 9]
Oh, Edna, dance with me, baby
Oh, Wilbur
Ooh, ooh, Wilbur, oh
Wow, look at those
Ooh, look at me groove
Look at that thrust
I haven't tried that in fourteen years
Oh my God
Ooh, I got the bumper going down, baby
Oh my, that's illegal in many states
[Verse 10]
You're like a broken down Chevy
All you need is a fresh coat of paint
And, Edna, you've got me going hot and heavy
You're fat and old, but, baby, boring you ain't
[Verse 11]
Some folks don't get it, but we never fret it
'Cause we know that time is our friend
Yeah, it's plan to see that you're stuck with me
Until the bitter end
[Verse 12]
And we got a kid who's blowing the lid
Off the Turnblad family tree
You'll always hit the spot, big shot
You're timeless to me
You'll always be du jour, mon amour
You're timeless to me
[Verse 13]
You'll always be first string
Ring-a-ding-ding
You're timeless to me
You're timeless to me
You're timeless to me
You're timeless to me
