  • Everybody knows this song
    But why did it take so long

    Now your children they are grown
    Wearing makeup and cologne

    Working's tired out your eyes
    Yeah drinking milkshakes, eating fries

    Grease your hair down, polish up your shoes
    Get a girlfriend, take her to the zoo
    Check your balance, paycheck's coming through
    Something's going on my friend, it's you

    Days are turning into years
    What a wonderful career

    Now your children they are grown
    And your wife is all alone

    It's time to find out where you're at
    Cuz we don't want no heart attack
    Grease your hair down, polish up your shoes
    Get a girlfriend, take her to the zoo
    Check your balance, paycheck's coming through
    Something's going on my friend, it's you Writer/s: David Andrew Wallach, Maxwell C. Drummey
