"You've Got Time, Marge"

Copyright 1993, Tano Music

Words & Music by Tom Sperrazzo

INTRO:

Marge, you've shown a sudden change I do believe;

What happened to that spark, that joie d'vivre?

You used to preach: "Life's a blast!" and "Time's a plenty!"

It seems like lately you're sounding like Jack Benny

the big five-oh;

There's some advice you really need to know..

 

YOU'VE GOT TIME, MARGE--lot's of time, Marge;

Really nifty to get to fifty, but you've got time, Marge;

Future's clover, it's far from over--

Getting better like a 10-year cheddar or some fine wine.

 

YOU'VE GOT TIME, MARGE--life's sublime, Marge;

Gotta get set and join the jetset, you're in your prime Marge;

Future's clover, it's far from over--

Don't buy a plot yet, you're life's not shot yet, you're in your prime.

 

Fifty isn't such a scare, shouldn't mean a rocking chair,

Though you've lost a step and there's gray in your hair;

Your body might at times resist the Mashed Potato and the Twist;

You've got the world right where you want it!

 

YOU'VE GOT TIME, MARGE--lot's of time, Marge;

Really nifty to get to fifty, but you've got time, Marge;

Future's clover, it's far from over--

Getting better like a 10-year cheddar or some fine wine.
