Boomer Can Can Lyrics

Here are the lyrics to the "Boomer Can Can" song on YouTube:


Boomer what do you do when you’ve nothing to look forward to

Do you walk around the mall and not buy anything at all

Or do you volunteer somewhere to help someone and show you care

Do you sit and watch TV and at the breaks think “woe is me”

Just stay present

I can hear my friends tell me

Just stay present

Take a walk, look at the sea

Just stay present

Lucky that you have your health

Just stay present

Who cares that you lost your wealth

Just stay on track, and don’t look back, no don’t look back, no don't look back now

GO walking in the mountains, smelling all the flowers, picking up the trash that people leave out on the trails,

Stop at local Starbucks, start a conversation with someone you’ll never see again

And then

Get a Netflix movie, see it with your loved one, listen to him bitch about a silly chick flick

Or cook a pot of chili, watch some weekend football, eat and pray and love just for today.

Do you have a pet at home who helps to calm your urge to roam

Are you now a Facebook fan who stays at home for Farmville land

And what about your work today, is it enough to make you say

That you don’t care about what’s next long as there’s someone to text

A chocolate bar this afternoon, a glass of wine to cure the gloom

the gloom the gloom-the gloom boom-boom


CLEAR junk out from your attic, rent a little dumpster, throw away the stuff you really don’t need now that

Your kids are grown-ups and you’re already a grandma,

But you’re not dead yet, you’re not dead yet!

And YOU still can drive a car so drive it to a BAR and have some bottled water with a slice of lemon

Then use your sanitizer so you won’t get sick and have to leave the earth.

Wear big girl pants

Get up and dance

Look in the mirror

Shake off your fear

Dream one big dream you can today,

You still could meet George Clooney HEY…

And you can live another day

because your life is still okay

You can-You can-You can-You can ….

LIVE - FOR - TO - DAY!

And YES, I copyrighted the lyrics! I had to, after singing them non-stop for six weeks, driving my husband and co-workers crazy, probably my neighbors too. Thanks again to wonderful WomanSage friends who not only performed, but laughed along with me and many who gave us a standing ovation! Boomers ROCK!
