Eighty and shining bright

I still dance under city lights

With pearls and dreams and sweet champagne,

Life begins again and again!

Joy, joy, joy — that’s my song!

I’ve been swinging all life long

Don’t tell me time is gone — oh boy!

’Cause I’m alive with joy, joy, joy!

I’ve kissed the blues and waved goodbye,

Painted my heart in pink and sky.

No rule, no clock, no “should” or “must,”

Just love, and rhythm, and a little trust!

Joy, joy, joy — come along!

We’re still young where souls belong

Raise your glass, girls, don’t be coy,

We’re eighty and full of joy, joy, joy!

Joy, joy, joy — that’s my song!

I’ve been swinging all life long

Don’t tell me time is gone — oh boy!

’Cause I’m alive with joy, joy, joy!
