OLD AGE - THERE'S NO NEED TO FEEL DOWN
I SAID, OLD AGE - THERE'S LESS HAIR ON YOUR CROWN
I SAID, LOOK NOW, IT'S RIGHT THERE IN YOUR EAR
BUT NOW WE--CAN--NO--LONG-ER--HEAR.
LISTEN, THESE ARE OUR GOLDEN YEARS
I SAID, LOOK 'ROUND, THESE OLD FOLKS ARE YOUR PEERS
I SAID, MEM'RIES, OF ALL OUR STEAD-Y DATES
NOW WE JUST--WANT--TO--STAND--UP--STRAIGHT.
CHORUS
1-2-3-4-5 IT'S FUN TO BE IN THE A.A.R.P
IT'S FUN TO BE IN THE A.A.R.P.
THEY HAVE EV-ER-Y-THING THAT YOU NEED TO EN-JOY
YOU CAN HANG OUT WITH OLD GIRLS AND BOYS.
WHERE NOW ARE THE GOOD LOOKING JOCKS
I SAID, WHERE NOW ARE THOSE DANCES WITH SOCKS
AND NOX-E-MA, THAT WE SMEARED ON OUR FACE,
THERE'S THAT GIRL—WITH THE TIN-Y--WAIST.
EACH DAY, THERE'S A NEW ACHE OR PAIN
HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS: WE CAN NOW PREDICT RAIN,
THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH OUR HIPS AND OUR KNEES
YOU CAN HEAR--US--WHEN--WE--WHEEZE!
CHORUS
WHERE NOW ARE THOSE MUSCULAR GUYS
THEY HAVE EATEN MANY BURGERS AND FRIES
AND THAT DIMPLE - YES THAT CUTE LITTLE ONE
IS NOW FRECK-LED---FROM---TOO--MUCH--SUN.
FIRST DATE, WITH THAT CUTE LITTLE MISS
YOU KNOW, FIRST DATE, WILL THERE BE A FIRST KISS?
THERE WERE FRIDAYS - WITH THOSE FRIDAY NIGHT GAMES
WE WERE ROPERS! OUR--CLAIM--TO--FAME!
CHORUS (again...and again)

The Village People (for real) gave a concert
at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida,
following Tampa Bay Rays game on August
13, 2010. Here, Dick Risk performs with them
(kinda) in the original Y.M.C.A. song. The
Village People are the tiny images on the
stage in center field. Dick claims he made
his letter "C" backwards so the performers
would see it correctly.
