- Wed like to welcome you here to the Dakota country and western club
And in return for miss Yoko Onos wonderful gift of a very strange
Id like, this morning, to sing you a little ditty that occurred to me in the throes of my sleep
Its called Life Begins At 40
They say life begins at forty
Age is just a state of mind
If all thats true
You know, that Ive been dead for thirty-nine
And if life begins at forty
Well, I hope it aint the same
Its been tough enough without that stuff
I dont wanna to be born again
Well, I tried to sweep the slate clean
With a new broom evry day
If that dont work
Ill jerk around until my next birthday
Yeah, life begins at forty
Age is just a state of mind
Well, if all thats true
You know that Ive been dead for thirty-nine
