10 The Stink and Wrinkle
Well, there’s an old-time dance everybody must do
Won’t be long — you’ll be doin’ it, too
Sure as stars at night do twinkle
Name of the dance is Stink and Wrinkle

Time creeps up slow like an old tomcat
And before you know it, you’ll be laid out flat
Then, ‘stead o’ wakin’ up like Rip Van Winkle
You’ll be doin’ that Stink and Wrinkle

Stink to the left and wrinkle to the right
Gettin’ kinda loose – it used to be so tight

Nippin’ and a tuckin’ and a cakin’ on the paint
Tryin’ to make it look like somethin’ that it just ain’t

Now don’t be sad and dontcha be blue
That stinkin’, wrinklin’ thing ain’t you
But the more you try to be a swingin’ single
The more you cry when it stink and wrinkle
