COUNT YOUR WRINKLES

Hello-Welcome, everyone-You’re looking great;
You don’t look a minute over 98.
What have you to show for all the sweat and tears?
And the smiles and laughter of these many years?

CHORUS:
[Count your wrinkles; name them one by one;
Counting Wrinkles can be lots of fun.
Don’t you pity-People who have none?
Count your many wrinkles, see what time has done.]

Count from top to bottom or from left to right.
Counting wrinkles one by one could take all night.
If you’re in a hurry; here’s what you can do;
Count them all on one side and then multiply by two.

(CHORUS)
Some might say that naming wrinkles is insane;
Fred and Sue and Benjamin and Mary Jane.
Each and every wrinkle is a special friend;
They will all be with you to your journey’s end.

(CHORUS)
