Jimi Hendrix - 51ST ANNIVERSARY LYRICS

For fifty years they’ve been married
They can’t wait for their fifty first
To roll around, yeah, roll around.
For thirty years they’ve been married
And now they’re old and happy
And they settle down, ha ha
Settle down, yeah.
For twenty years they’ve been married
And they did everything that could be done
You know, they have their fun.

And then you come along and talk about it:
“So you, you say you wanna be married,
I’m gonna change your mind.
Oh, gotta change it.”
That was the good side baby
Here comes the best side.
For ten years they’ve been married
A thousand kids went around homeless
‘Cause their Mom was a louse
Daddy’s down at the whisky house.
That ain’t all,
For three years they’ve been married
They don’t get along so good,
They’re tired of each other.
You know how that goes,
She got another lover.
Hah, same old thing.
So now you’re seventeen
You run around hangin’ out
And having your fun
Life for you has just begun baby.

And then you come sayin’:
“So you, you say you wanna be married.
Oh, baby, tryin’ to put me on a chain
Ain’t that some shame?
You must be losin’ your weak little mind.
I ain’t ready to get married,
I ain’t ready.
I’m gonna change your mind.
Ooh, look out baby.
Auh, I ain’t ready to get tied down
I ain’t ready, I ain’t ready now
Let me live a little while longer
Let me live, let me live a little while longer
So I can finish talking,
Let me get back to my groooove .
