Life Begins At 40 Lyrics - John Lennon

- "We'd like to welcome you here to the Dakota country and western club 

And in return for miss Yoko Ono's wonderful gift of a very strange 

I'd like, this morning, to sing you a little ditty that occurred to me in the throes of my sleep 

It's called "Life Begins At 40" 

They say life begins at forty 

Age is just a state of mind 

If all that's true 

You know, that I've been dead for thirty-nine 

And if life begins at forty 

Well, I hope it ain't the same 

It's been tough enough without that stuff 

I don't wanna to be born again 

Well, I tried to sweep the slate clean 

With a new broom ev'ry day 

If that don't work 

I'll jerk around until my next birthday
