Charlie, there's no need to feel down
I said Charlie, pick yourself off the ground
I say Charlie, we're gonna be there with you
There's no need to be unhappy
Charlie, there's still plenty to do
I said Charlie, going downhill's fun too
I say Charlie, you can do what you please
They say life begins at fifty
Chorus:
It's time to join in the A.A.R.P.
We'll all be joinin' the A.A.R.P.
Charlie don't make a fuss
You can hang out with us
At the senior community
A.A.R.P.
We'll all be joinin' the A.A.R.P.
There's no reason to wait
For the senior rate
And you'll be in good company
Charlie, start a rock and roll band
Woodstock nation, go and live off the land
I say Charlie, it's time to buy that red porche
You can have a mid-life crisis
Charlie, you're not over the hill
I said Charlie, they've come up with a pill
It's a marvel, it will cure everything
That don't work quite like it used to
(Chorus)
