Old People with Spunk

I like old  people with spunk.
They’re never in a deep, dark funk.
They don’t complain about feelin’ punk.
Old people with spunk.
I like old people with pep,
Never out of style and never out of step.
They were hip.  Before that they were hep.
Old people with pep.
They’ll tell you stories ‘bout the good old days
Keep you goin’ till they turn out the light.
They say, “Things were better in the good old days” and
You know they’re probably right.
I like old people with spunk.
She’s still a dish and he is still a hunk.
They like to listen to Thelonius …
Old people with spunk.
I like old people with moxie.
They like to dance close down at the Roxy
Like they were stuck real tight with epoxy.
Old People with moxie.
My great-aunt Hattie could do anything.
She was really something to see.
I said, “Hattie,how’d you ever learn to do so much?”
She said, “We didn’t have T.V.”
I like old people with fire.
They like to live life down to the wire.
They would rather explore than expire.
Old people with fire.
I like old people with spunk.
If you’ve  got any love, give ‘em a great big chunk
‘Cuz they’ll be off on another wild adventure before you’ve even blunk,
Old people with spunk.
