You’re Not 22 (I Will Survive Parody)
With love to my big brother on his 30th birthday.
At first I was afraid
I was petrified
I grew up with a big brother Moish
who had height and muscle on his side
But then I spent so many nights
Working out and getting strong
And then we grew up and
learned how to get along
And now you’re back
From LA
Came back to crash on my couch
even if it’s only for 2 days
I should have changed my f-ing lock
But I decided to leave you leave a key
But I have only one request
don’t make noise when you come in at 3
Oh now go
Walk out the door
Party for your birfday
Like you’re only 24
Weren’t you the one who said you’ll always be 18
Now you wonder,
Weren’t all those years really keen?
Oh no, not you
You’re not 22
As long as you keep aging you don’t know what to do
You’ve got all your life to live
And you’ve got all your love to give
But you’re not 22
You’re not 22
Yeah, Yeah
It took all the strength I had
Just to take the beat
I still have the scars to prove it
On my seat
Yoni and I spent so many minutes
Just thinking of these lyrics
he wanted to mention commandos
But I stood up and vetoed it
Now we remember
The days of old
Where the dead man run would knock us out good and cold
And so you thought i’d get up here
to make some fun of you and cause a fuss
But we’re gonna save our makin fun
for someone that can make fun of us
Oh now go
Walk out the door
Party for your birfday
Like you’re only 24
Weren’t you the one who said you’ll always be 18
Now you wonder,
Weren’t all those years really keen?
Oh no, not you
You’re not 22
As long as you keep aging you don’t know what to do
You’ve got all your life to live
And you’ve got all your love to give
But you’re not 22
You’re not 22
Yeah, Yeah
