Same Ol'

If I were younger, just a bit, and skinnier, and smart,
If I had more hair up on top - that would be a start.
If I could jump a wee bit higher, was more flexible and tanned,
If my shoulders were broader, and my knees less wobbly -
and straighter I could stand. . .

Well then I'd be younger and less fat and smarter,
A full head of hair, a tall drink of water.
A higher jumper and bendy and tanned,
More stout and sure-footed, a good-looking man.

But I don't think I'd change my ways just because of that.
I think I'd sit in this same ol' spot and where this same ol' hat.
