Never As Old As You Songtext
von Elliott Murphy

I heard you say you were notorious and glorious
Well, I say it′s a funny name
For a girl I went to high school with
Who used to give me lunchtime change
And show all the boys the backseats of your daddy's cars
I can′t believe your stories
Nobody grows that far

And you lied and I cried
I was mystified when I was sixteen
Yes it's true
But there's one thing that I′m sure of
I′ll never be as old as you


I got a parakeet missionary among canaries
Who always tells the same dirty joke
About the holy ghost and his roamin' gang
The time they did too much coke
And walked around a holy city
Laughin′ at statues of saints
I told my bird to quit it
Canaries usually faint

And you lied and I cried
I was mystified when I was sixteen
Yes it's true
But there′s one thing that I'm sure of
I′ll never be as old as you

I get a local delivery of your misery
Then the milkman leaves a note
And the neighbors sure were very shocked
About your drawbridge and your moat
I mean, once a night is enough
For all that chivalry stuff
Oh baby, put down your armor
Your poker's only a bluff

And I lied and you cried
I was mystified when I was sixteen
Yes it's true
And there′s one thing that I′m sure of
I'll never be as old as you


And you lied, I cried
I was terrified when I was sixteen
Yes it′s true
And there's one thing that I′m sure of
I'll never, never, never
I′ll never be as old as you
