Lyrics
I'm too damn old for American Idol After camping out in line, I was stunned to see the sign Said if you're over 29, just go back home you're past your prime So before I sang my tunes, or got thrown out by their goons Went down and filed for Medicare, and slumped down in my rocking chair It's not like I'm ready for social security Though I'm pretty sure a few of their judges'll collect before me But I'm too damn old for American Idol They shot me down before my arrival Another face that America won’t see I thought of plastic surgery, and faking my ID And maybe lots of spackle paste, will hide the wrinkles on my face And maybe if I bleach, what's left of all my teeth I wouldn’t break your camera lens, I'd even give up my Depends If I do all these things will you audition me Unless I'm mistaken, you even have viewers out of puberty But I'm too damn old for American Idol They shot me down before my arrival Another face that America won't see Won't hear Simple Simon getting condescending And tell me the career that I just started's ending What's it take to get this geezer on TV Ellen, I'm yelling, what'll it take for you to notice me Cause, last I checked, I'm still not a member of AARP But I'm too damn old for American Idol They shot me down before my arrival Another face that America won't see Won't hear Simple Simon getting condescending And tell me the career that I just started's ending Truth be told I'm happy singing my songs for free But, I can still dream I'm not too old to dream I can still dream
