OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John, and says, “Boys and Girls, earlier this morning I promised you a second birthday song. This one is for our sponsor, Farmer John cahwyguy.

So when you find it in your mailbox for the first time my friend You can tell that you getting older, you’re turning grey It’s a first sign of decline, it’s a start of the end When your wrinkles out number your hairs then it’s headed your way Chorus Modern Maturity, means you’re getting old When you get the magazine that you hide from your friends Once it was Rolling Stone, it was thrill after thrill Now Modern Maturity means over the hill When Mick Jagger has his breakfast of yogurt and bran Does he read of prescriptions by mail or of self-rising chairs You can keep on rockin’ and rollin’ as long as you can But then you sit in your little seat and you ride up the stairs (chorus: Modern Maturity…)

I’ve looked through its pages and what I see there Is that everyone looks about twenty-five with white hair You can buy polyester pants for nineteen ninety-five You can get your grandchildren’s picture on your coffee cup And if you’re tired of walking there’s a scooter that you can drive Or a button to push if you’ve fallen and you can’t get up (chorus: Modern Maturity…)

Oh, and if you want the birdie to be able to inform the Sheriff about your birthday, you need to make sure your birth month and day is in your profile, and it is visible to your friends]

OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John, and, but wait… he’s wearing sunglasses, and swaying back and forth. He pulls out his 88-key accordion, and says, “This one’s for you, elasticity, who was chosen to be born on a really great day”. He starts singing…

OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John, and pulls out accordian.
