Song Lyrics

Old maid, old maid
Stop acting like a baby child
Old maid, old maid
Stop acting like a baby child
You waited 'til you got 63
Before you started runnin' wild

Oh, I'm looking for a gal
She's got me be young and neat
I'm looking for a gal
She's got me be young and neat
What good is a stove
If it don't give out no heat

Well, you had your chance
For love and romance
But you let it pass you by
'Cause when you were 10
You used to run from men
Kept on sittin' on it all the time

When you was 16 you was a natural queen
She kept on sittin' on it all the time
When you were 22, you didn't know what to do
When you was 25, you thought about that jive

She kept on sittin' on it all the time
She kept on sittin' on it all the time

When you was 31, you was hot as the sun
But you kept on sittin' on it all the time

She kept on sittin' on it all the time
She kept on sittin' on it all the time

When you were 52, you still knew what to do
She kept on sittin' on it all the time
When you were 55, you was glad to be alive
When you were 58, it still wasn't too late

She kept on sittin' on it all the time
She kept on sittin' on it all the time

Now you're 63, you're too old for me
So keep on sittin' on it all the time
