Life Begins At 40 Lyrics - Yoko Ono

- "we'd like to welcome you here to the dakota country and western club 

And in return for miss yoko ono's wonderful gift of a very strange... 

I'd like,this morning, to sing you a little ditty that occured to me in the throes of my sleep 

It's called "life begins at 40" 

They say life begins at forty, 

Age is just a state of mind. 

If all that's true, 

You know, that I've been dead for thirty-nine. 

And if life begins at forty, 

Well, I hope it ain't the same 

It's been tough enough without that stuff 

I don't wanna to be born again. 

Well, I tried to sweep the slate clean 

With a new broom ev'ry day 

If that don't work, 

I'll jerk around until my next birtday
