I was feeling rather cheeky so I went down to this discotheque
I was rockin' in the corner with a pretty little thing called, Beck
She had one hand on me shoulder, the other on me arm
I could see she was succumbin' to my old fashioned charm
When a bloke who was bigger than a ten ton digger threw me out
And I told him...
Life begins at forty, you wonder why you feel so naughty
You might be getting on but you can't stop shakin' your feet
Your body sure is willin', even though your back is killin'
You may be forty but you can't stop rockin' to the beat.

Well I saw Mick Jagger he was forty just the other day
He was on the television tryin' to keep the pretty girls away
So I went backstage and I took 'im by the arm
Said look 'ere Mick you need a bodyguard
When a bloke who was bigger than a ten ton digger threw me out
And I told him...
Life begins at forty, you wonder why you feel so naughty
You might be getting on but you can't stop shakin' your feet
Your body sure is willin', even though your back is killin'
You may be forty but you can't stop rockin' to the beat.

It was getting much later so I thought I'd better go on home
You see my poor old wife was lyin' in a bed alone
So I opened up the front door, tip toed up the steps
Thought I would surprise her with a kiss on the lips
When a bloke who was bigger than a ten ton digger threw me out
And she said...
Life begins at forty, you wonder why you feel so naughty
You might be getting on but you can't stop shakin' your feet
Your body sure is willin', even though your back is killin'
You may be forty but you can't stop rockin' to the beat.
all right now
