lyrics

GLAD TO BE A FREAK @ 40

Yes I know what you all will say:
he's too old to do that on stage!
But today is my birthday,
so I'll do things my way!
What I'm trying to say is:

Glad to be a freak at 40!
Glad to be the real me!
When he hit his 40s
Mozart had just hit town;
and Shakespeare was bald when
he was about 10.

I know you think that Red Rabbit's dead,
or at least not quite right in the head,
but he's still swinging!
and he's singing:

Glad to be a freak at 40!
Glad to be the real me!
Oh I'm so glad to say that I'm a freak at 40!
I'm so glad to say that I'm the real me!
Glad to be my own lawnmower!
Glad to be my own lawnmower!
Glad to be a freak at 40!
Glad to be the real me!!
