viva le difference

When I was young

and in my prime

I used to wonder all the time

about the girl next door

and what was under

the things she wore

I asked my friends

if they knew

or if they had ever seen that view

we talked and joked 

about that mysterious wonder

known only as the place down under

the older boys bragged that they knew

and that is was really different 

and an awesome view

we would slowly

walk by the girls gym door

hoping to see just a little bit more

When I was older

and my time had come

to be a little brave and somewhat bolder

I ask a girl to go with me

to view the submarines in the sea

but unfortunately that curious unveiling was not to be

finally one wonderful night

I discovered the view that had been haunting me

with a girl that was my bride to be

now that I'm

old and getting gray

I get to see her every day

the difference has never grown old

the problem is

I'm no longer young and bold
