Will Fyffe - Scottish Music Hall star - writes about being Ninety Years Old


A little light relief from Will Fyffe.

Will Fyffe was probably best known for his classic song - I belong to Glascow.  In the 30s he was one of the highest paying performers on the music halls.  He recorded over thirty songs and starred in over twenty films.

It's nice to sit down when you're nintey-four, Down by the kitchen fire,
And think o' the times you used to have, And the girls that you admire.
But a farmer's life's a healthy life, I feel as good as new,
And I'll bet a bob you'll be surpris'd at what I'll tell to you.

I'm ninety-four this mornin', Aye, I'm ninety-four today.
I'm not so young as I used to be, I'm gettin' old and grey.
But my heart is young, and I'm fond of fun, And I'm very proud to say
That I'm gettin' married on Thursday Tho' I'm ninety-four today.

Of course down in the village It will be a big surprise,
The people think it's all a joke, That the minister's telling lies.
Oh! But we will get the laugh at them, As sure as I'm alive,
For there'll maybe be a christ'ning yet Before I'm ninety-five.
I'm ninety-four this mornin', Aye, I'm ninety-four today.
I'm not so young as I used to be, I'm gettin' old and grey.
But my heart is young, and I'm fond of fun, And I'm very proud to say
That I'm gettin' married on Thursday Tho' I'm ninety-four today.
Hear him perform this piece and be amazed.  And amused.


AND although he was actually only 44 when he released this song, we think it still backs up our belief in Age No Limit.
