Verse:
AmLather was Cthirty years Gold today,
they Emtook away Dall of his Ctoys.
His Ammother sent Cnewspaper Gclippings to him
about his Emold friends who'd Dstopped being Cboys.
There was EmHarwitz E. DGreen, just Fturned thirty-Dthree,
his Cleather chair Emwaits at the Dbank.
And EmSeargent Dow DJones, twenty-Fseven years Dold,
comCmanding his Emvery own Dtank.
But CLather still Dfinds it a Emnice thing to do,
to Clie about Dnude in the Emsand.
Drawing Cpictures of Dmountains that Elook like bumps,
and Dthrashing the air with his Ahands.
Bridge:
Asus2But wait, oh Lather's proGductive you know,
he proAsus2duces the Gfinest of Asus2sound.
Putting Adrumsticks on either Gside of his nose,
Asnorting the Gbest licks in Atown.

Verse:
AmLather was Cthirty years Gold today,
and EmLather came Dfoam from his Ctongue.
He Amlooked at me Ceyes wide and Gplainly said,
"Is it Emtrue that I'm Dno longer Cyoung?"
And the Emchildren Dcall him FfaDmous,
what the Cold men Emcall inDsane.
And EmsomeDtimes he's so FnameDless,
That he Chardly Emknows what Dgame to play,
which Cwords to say.
And I should have Dtold him, Em"No, you're not old."
And I Cshould have Dlet him Ego on...Dsmiling...Ababywide.
