Too old, too old
I'm too old to cut the mustard anymore

When I was young I had a lot of pep
I could get around and I didn't need no help
But since I'm old and a-gettin gray
The people all look at me and say:

Too old, too old
She's too old to cut the mustard any more.

(recorded by many country artists, but the oddest version is as a duet sung by Rosemary Clooney & Marlene Dietrich!!)

When you see me in your mailbox
Cut the strings and let me out
Wipe the glue right off of my fingers
Stick some bubble gum in my mouth

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby
edgy and dull
and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my soul

Sandra Dodd said...

With a two-edgéd sword cut off her head
And kicked it against the wall

(It's one of those traditional-ballad bits... it's in Mathey Grove sometimes, and in Fair Ellender sometimes and probably others.)

Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings, thought I oughta tear the curtain down.
I held the blade in trembling hands, prepared to make it but just then the phone rang.
I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face
Than spend one more minute with you

I LOVE that song by Weird Al! I have sung it in concert and it is always a big audience favorite. He is a very underrated composer, I think.

And he sold them all for tea
