lyrics

I aint no spring chicken
anymore
oh finger lickin'
you want some more

Got the rhythm in me
learned the hard way
Got me thinkin',
gonna do it my way
comin' round here
stayin' all night
drink some beer
and we're feelin' alright
I can't take it now
lets start the show
oh lets make it
ya huh lets go

I aint no spring chicken
anymore
still finger lickin'
you want some more

hot flashes comin'
I got the chills
heart is racing darlin'
I feel ill
fever's strong
It's gettin' worse
won't be long now
call the hearse
I'm on fire
oh baby please
don't you know I've got a disease

c'mon baby
I know you want it
keep on shakin' it
lets get on it
back's achin' now
been a long time
didn't tell me honey
that's o.k. cause now i know
you're never to old to rock and roll

I aint no spring chicken
anymore
so finger lickin'
