[Chorus]
I ain't gettin’ older, I'm gettin' better
I ain’t gettin' older, I'm gettin' better

[Verse 1]
Now that I'm here and I'm on my way
I've got something I wanna say
[?] and I plead
Lend me your best ear, hear what I mean

[Chorus]
I ain't gettin’ older, I’m gettin' better
I ain’t gettin' older, I'm gettin' better

[Verse 2]
I started out a long time ago
Shy and [?] and a little bit slow
But at 17 I was getting warm
28, I was just like the storm

[Chorus]
I ain’t gettin' older, I'm gettin' better
I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better

[Verse 3]
39, I told you a lot
And at 42, I was still running hot
And at 49, you think I slowed down, uh-uh!
52, still a man of our time

[Chorus]
I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better
I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better

[Interlude over Instrumental Breakdown]
It's your turn fellas, get in now
That's alright, fellas
Let's try it again
One more time
Oh!

[Verse 4]
53, I still was clean
And at 54, still on the scene
55, funkiest man alive
And at 56, can't stand no jive
I'm turning gray, gettin' a little bit bald
I look back on life with love for all of y'all

[Chorus]
I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better
I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better
Listen to me

[Verse 5]
Oh, it's alright
Oh, feel alright
I'm like good whiskey, I mellow with age
I like good whiskey, I mellow with age
Like old man river, keep rollin' along
Like old man river, rollin' along
Like old man river, keep rollin' along
Like old man river, rollin' along

[Chorus]
I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better now
Like a, I'm gettin' better now
Oh, I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better now
I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better
Listen for this right here, y'all
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, woo!
I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better now
I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better

[Verse 6]
Feeling my cheery ode, feeling my cheery ode
Feeling my cheery ode, feeling my cheery ode
My muscles standing, my muscles are standing high
My muscles standing, my muscles are standing high

[Chorus]
Oh, I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better now
I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better now, listen
Oh, oh, yeah, hey, hey, hey
Got to a little bit, now listen

[Verse 7]
At 53, I still was clean
And at 54, huh, still on the scene
55, funkiest man alive
56, can't stand no jive

[Chorus]
Oh, I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better now
I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better now

[Verse 8]
I'm turning gray, gettin' a little bit bald
Look back on life with love for all of y'all
That means everybody

[Chorus]
I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better
I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better
