OUT WITH THE new AGE, IN WITH THE OLD
words and music by Pat Donohue
Last night I threw my Birkenstocks away
I guess my feet were gettin' kinda cold
And you don't have to be a Shaman to see it comin' every day
It's out with the new age, in with the old.
I sold my crystals and my tarot cards
Because I know the future can't be told
We had a little sale here by the yard
It's out with the new age, in with the old.
BRIDGE:
I've bonded with my feelings, been through therapy and hugs
I've tried holistic healing, now I'm ready for some drugs.
And would you like to buy some George Winston CDs
Just name your price and they're as good as sold
Give me some old-fashioned melodies
It's out with the new age, in with the old.
I think I'm gonna cancel my tai chi
It's more than these old brittle bones can hold
I'll just take a blanket and some tea
It's out with the new age, in with the old.
It smells like my aroma therapy
Is starting to produce some kind of mold
And my everlasting light might not even last the night
It's out with the new age, in with the old.
BRIDGE:
I'm givin' up on yoga and I'm gettin' into golf
I didn't pay my karmic debt - they shut my aura off.
So sorry, step right up and make a deal
On incense and pyramids of gold
There's bargains here galore, 'cause I don't use 'em anymore
It's out with the new age, in with the old.
