Versatile verse 4

Would it be wise to try a Highland fling?
To be honest I’d rather, would like to sing

I know I don’t have the best voice in the land

I know I don't have the best voice in the land
maybe it would sound better if I sang with a band

After all, some pop groups don't sing in tune

After all, some pop groups don't sing in tune,
Give me the old crooners, like Pat Boone

This shows my age, but do I care ?

This shows my age, but do I care?
So what if people want to stare

It makes me happy so I will carry on

It makes me happy so I will carry on
Because my inhibitions have all gone

Im lost in the moment with this song

Im lost in the moment with this song
So join in everyone and sing along

We'll never make the hit parade

We'll never make the hit parade
Our million seller wont be made

But we'll enjoy this carefree time

But we'll enjoy this carefree time
Up to the high notes we will climb

Everyone can join in and make a cheerful noise

Everyone can join in and make a cheerful noise
Freely exhibiting their festive joys

Whatever your voice your welcome to join

Whatever your voice your welcome to join
Lots of practice then a jig in Boulogne

I'm brushing up my French to speak to the locals

I'm brushing up my French to speak to the locals
just hope they're not scared away when I exercise my vocals

I'm not well known for holding a tune

I'm not well known for holding a tune
Sometimes I go crazy and howl like a loon

But such pleasure I get exercising my vocals

But such pleasure I get excercising my vocals
I forget my age and that I now wear bi focals

when I sing in a choir I get a new lease of life

when I sing in a choir I get a new lease of life
It helps me release all the tension and strife

Especially the high notes where I open wide

Especially the high notes where I open wide
Very soon I'm into my stride

Singing with gusto and loving the sound

Singing with gusto and loving the sound
Spreading my bit of happiness around

Id love to sing gospel if that was allowed

I'd love to sing Gospel if that was allowed
I'm certain it is, so sing it out loud

Just be brave and sing any songs of your choice

Just be brave and sing any songs of your choice
As long as you love it don't worry about your voice.

Singing is a wonderful way to feel good

Singing is a wonderful way to feel good
And even alone it sure raises the blood

My bathroom mirror tells me Im okay

My bathroom mirror tells me Im okay
But I'm short-sighted, I'm quite glad to say

I can't really see how many wrinkles I've got

I can't really see how many wrinkles I've got
And if I look closely Id see quite a lot

Age does bring wisdom thats what they say

Age does bring wisdom, that's what they say
but getting really old is a heavy price to pay

If only that wisdom had come in my youth

If only that wisdom had come in my youth
Instead of now when I'm long in the tooth

I would have avoided a lot of mistakes

I would have avoided a lot of mistakes
Broken relationships and a heart that aches

Now I know who I am and am grateful for that
