	This next little bit is for the ladies,
	For Molly's the Dolly's and the Sadie's
	For the Mississippi to the old Euphrates
	If you long for shoes and rice may I offer this advice?
	Ten good years, ten good years
	Like it or not all a women has got is ten good years
	When there aren't any wrinkles and there isn't any spread
	When you're blooming like a flower every hour on the hour
	Just like Tommy Manvel said
	You better get your man, while the getting is good
	You better light that fire
	While you still got wood or your dead, yes you're dead
	Ten good years, ten good years
	Girl aren't Craggy, Haggy or Shaggy
	Ten good years, just ten good years
	The first year you can afford to be particular
	The standard you set are very high
	The second year your nose though perpendicular
	It's not exactly pointed at the sky
	The third year your mother begins to hint a bit
	She raves about your sisters darling kids
	The Fourth year thru
	The seventh you're gathering lint a bit
	Then comes the eight you're nearly on the skids
	The ninth year you go to Acapulco
	And have a thing with a dentist,
	You think you're going to have a happy life
	The ninth and a half year
	You go to the mail box and get a note from the dentist
	It's not a bill; he's going back to his wife ahha, ahhaâŚâŚ.
	The tenth year arrives, the panic sets in
	You're thirty one married your not
	So you fix your hair and maybe your chin
	And suddenly look what you got, look what you got
	Ten good years, ten more good years
	Big game or small game
	You're back in the ball game it appears
	Now honey I give you odds like eight to five
	As long as you are breathing as long as you're alive
	Put on your powder and throw away your fears
	You've got ten, all you got to do is be sure you count them real slow
	Ten you got a lot more if you got the right connections.
	Ten now Marlene Deitrick is not exactly chopped liver
	Ten good years

	This next little bit is for the ladies,
	For Molly' s the Dolly' s and the Sadie' s
	For the Mississippi to the old Euphrates
	If you long for shoes and rice may I offer this advice?
	Ten good years, ten good years
	Like it or not all a women has got is ten good years
	When there aren' t any wrinkles and there isn' t any spread
	When you' re blooming like a flower every hour on the hour
