Verse 1
B
Thank you for your generosity
This is a gesture of
Compassion to the elderly
You know, I was talking with
G
B
some of the guys
Some of the guys in this band are kind of
You know over the hill
And they were talking about the
Various stages that a man
goes through
In relation to his allure
to the opposite sex
It was not a scientific
evaluation
Just something that arose over
A cup of coffee it went
something like this:
You start off irresistible
And, then you become resistible
And then you become transparent
Not exactly invisible,
but as if you are seen
Through old plastic
And then you actually do
become invisible
And then
And this is the most amazing
transformation
You become repulsive but
that’s not
That’s not the end of the story
After repulsive, you become a cute
And that’s where I am
