John Lennon Lyrics

"Life Begins At 40" lyrics


We'd like to welcome you here to the Dakota Country And Western Club
And in return for Miss Yoko Ono's wonderful gift of a very strange...
I'd like,this morning, to sing you a little ditty that occured to
me in the throes of my sleep
It's called "Life Begins At 40"

They say life begins at forty;
age is just a state of mind.
If all that's true,
you know, that I've been dead for thirty-nine.

And if life begins at forty,
well, i hope it ain't the same
it's been tough enough without that stuff
I don't wanna to be born again.

Well, I tried to sweep the slate clean
with a new broom ev'ry day
if that don't work,
I'll jerk around until my next birthday

yeah, life begins at forty,
age is just a state of mind.
Well, if all that's true
you know that I've been dead for thirty-nine.
