Younger

I'm getting younger  
every day  
I gave up work  
to go out and play  
   
I look in the mirror  
with a smile on my face  
I can't see a wrinkle  
there's not a line to trace  
   
I used to walk with a stoop  
but now I stand tall  
my best friends  
are a bat and a ball  
   
I eat what I like  
and don't watch my weight  
with plenty of pudding  
to fill my plate  
   
My hair's growing back  
and my abs are tight  
my girlfriend tells me  
I'm doing alright  
   
We make love at weekends  
and pick wild flowers  
then I relax  
with a nice cold shower  
   
When I jump on my bike  
I can cycle for hours  
the hills are no match  
for my superpowers  
   
So if years are bars  
then I'll rattle my cage  
'cause I can see no reason  
to act my age  
   
I'm getting younger  
every day  
and I couldn't care less  
what people say
