In "Honour" of Shirley Bassey's Oscar Appearance…

Old singers!
They're the ones, the ones that we all know,
Who can't let go.
Once were bold singers
Now they sing, and their crooning leaves us cold:
They're just too old.

Paul McCartney gave you joy for years,
But his Hey Jude now leaves you in tears,
And an old singer's siren-song lingers.
It's the song of death from our dear…
Old Singers!
Producers - beware of their past of gold.
They're just too old.

Elton John's back-catalogue still thrills
But his laryngitis gives us chills.
And Keith Richards' haunting face lingers,
But he's technically dead, unlike most…

Old Singers!
Producers - beware of their past of gold.
They're just too old.
