Old Folks Anthem: 76 Bad Bones (sung to the tune of ’76 Trombones’)

By Lou Ellen Brown
76 bad bones make me walk this way
76 bad bones make me cry.
I just go on and on
With a whimper and a moan
As I try to stagger through the day!76 bad bones take my breath away
76 bad bones slow me down.
Though I wear a sunny smile
I am faking all the while
But I try not to whimper every day!76 bad bones will not conquer me
76 bad bones will not win.
Every morning I arise
It’s a really great surprise
And I face the challenge with a grin.76 bad bones make me walk this way
76 bad bones aren’t so bad.
I am really going strong
With a shuffle and a song
And any other choice would be wrong.76 bad bones help me through the day
76 bad bones could be worse.
I’ll just take it as I must
Till these bones turn into dust
I would never have it any other way.
