The Lyrics

This is an older routine which has served me well through the years. Old Red Eyes is back. Prosit!
When I was just fourteen, it was a very good year
It was a very good year for Blue Ribbon beer in the cold long necks
We'd steal thenm from the fridge
And get loaded on the ridge
It was some very good beer

(Instrumental break)

When I was twenty-one, it was a very good year
I could go into bars without ever using my fake ID
I'd throw down rum and Coke
Until I nearly choked
It was some very good stuff

(Instrumental break)

When i was thirty-five, it was a very good year
It was a very good year for trombone players who drank vodka and grapefruit
I'd play out on my slide
And then fall on my backside
It was a very good mix

(Instrumental music)

But now I'm fifty-five, I'm married, teaching, and I'm old
And no matter how I try, I just can't party like I used to do
And the schnapps here in my glass
It jumps out and kicks my a**
I miss those very good years

Homer Simpson kinda did it first, but this is pretty clever.
