Everybody knows this song   But why did it take so long      Now your children they are grown   Wearing makeup and cologne      Working’s tired out your eyes   Yeah drinking milkshakes, eating fries      Grease your hair down, polish up your shoes   Get a girlfriend, take her to the zoo   Check your balance, paycheck’s coming through   Something’s going on my friend, it’s you      Days are turning into years   What a wonderful career      Now your children they are grown   And your wife is all alone      It’s time to find out where you’re at   Cuz we don’t want no heart attack   Grease your hair down, polish up your shoes   Get a girlfriend, take her to the zoo   Check your balance, paycheck’s coming through   Something’s going on my friend, it’s you
