No. 29 External Youth Songtext

von John Entwistle

Just give me one year of your life my friend
And I'll make you look twenty years younger
I've done it for others I can do it for you
New life, new body, and new friends too
I can make you look as you've never felt before.

Here's a very famous film star
Who took a one year course of my treatment
Ten inches off the waist
New hair stuck on with paste
And he acts as well as he ever did before.

You'll be as virile as ever
Unaffected by the weather
Old age will seem to pass you by
And you won't detect a sign, of old Father Time
Over sixty but you'll look like thirty-four.

A very prominent politician
In danger of losing his position
A devastating smile
Looked real up to a mile
And he lies as well as he ever did before.

This very well known pop singer
Had ceased to be a swinger
New hair, nose, teeth, and eyes
Touch of padding round the flies
And he sings as well as he ever did before.

You'll be as virile as ever
Unaffected by the weather
Old age will seem to pass you by
And you won't detect a sign, of old Father Time
Over sixty but you'll look like thirty-four.
