Loudon Wainwright Iii - Double Lifetime lyrics

I want a double lifetime, I wanna start over One lifetime's not enough, I need another Sixty-four years on a practice run Practice makes perfect, I'm about half done I want a double lifetime I want a double lifetime, I don't wanna stuff it Three score and ten just ain't enough, it Feels like I finally got it all figured out Almost free from the shame and the doubt I want a double lifetime A lot more time, that's what I need I can make my move, I can do the deed I know I'm greedy, but what do I care For the afterlife, I don't wanna go there I want a double lifetime, man I deserve it I want it so bad, I even got the nerve It's gonna take to get down on my bended knees Making prayers, saying pretty please Give me a double lifetime Let's play it, Jack! (Make mine a double!) I want a double lifetime, I wasted my first one The first time around, that's always the worst one You don't know what you're doing and you just can't wait You go ahead and do it and then it's too late You need a double lifetime A lot of double life, in public and private I wanna lead it again, I'm not gonna deny it I'm just like you, it's true, you know Ask yourself: are you ready to go? You want a double lifetime Yeah, a little more time ‘cause you know I never Wanna keep living forever and ever I know it sounds funny, and truth be told But 120 don't seem that old I want a double lifetime, not gonna get it But if a miracle happens, you know I'm gonna let it If I eat enough yogurt, maybe I might And the second time around, I'm gonna get it right Gimme a double lifetime That's getting good there… (That's getting good there…)
