Gin and Jag

Don't stare at the setting sun

and say youth is wasted on the young

Don't stare at the setting sun

and say youth is wasted on the young

Pour another gin, love

and go easy on the tonic

Tonight I'm in a frisky mood

I'm going supersonic

Boredom deplores a vacuum

A sentiment I applaud

There's a lot of room at the inn tonight

but I trust you won't be bored

This is quite a view, you must admit

some would pay the earth

Be careful with that decanter, dear

Do you know how much it's worth?

I made a pile and got out quick

I never got a gong

for services rendered but it's not a case

of where did it all go wrong?

When we chatted on the internet

I was looking for more than a friend

In my day I was quite a catch

I wish you'd seen me then

Young and single, free and easy

handsome in my prime

'Grab it while you can' is my advice

Don't waste your bloody time

Never married, no kids that I know of

Didn't want a litter

Might have been a mistake, I admit

but you don't want to end up bitter

Yes, I had a few golden years

Times I won't forget

But don't write me off as an old has-been

It's not all over yet

I know my taste isn't everyone's

I'm a little too Gin and Jag

If you don't want to give it a go tonight

you may as well pack your bag

When we chatted on the internet

I was looking for more than a friend

In my day I was quite a catch

I wish you'd seen me then

Don't stare at the setting sun

and say youth is wasted on the young

Don't stare at the setting sun

and say youth is wasted on the young
