Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Styles keep a-changing, the world's rearranging
But Edna, you're timeless to me
Hemlines are shorter, a beer costs a quarter
But time cannot take what comes free
[Verse 2]
You're like a stinky old cheese, babe
Just getting riper with age
You're like a fatal disease, babe
But there's no cure, so let this fever rage
[Verse 3]
Some folks can't stand it, say time is a bandit
But I take the opposite view
'Cause when I need a lift, time brings a gift
Another day with you
[Verse 4]
A twist or a waltz, it's all the same schmaltz
With just a change in the scenery
You'll never be old hat, that's that
You're timeless to me
[Verse 5]
Oh, Wilbur, I love you
[Verse 6]
Fads keep a-fading, Castro's invading
But Wilbur, you're timeless to me
Hairdos are higher, mine feels like barbed wire
But you say I'm chic as can be
[Verse 7]
You're like a rare vintage ripple
A vintage they'll never forget
So pour me a teeny weenie triple
And we can toast the fact we ain't dead yet
[Verse 8]
I can't stop eating, your hairline's receding
And soon, you'll have nothing at all
So you'll wear a wig, while I roast a pig
Hey, pass that Geritol
[Verse 9]
Glenn Miller had brass, that Chubby Checker's a gas
But they all pass eventually
You'll never be passé, hip hooray
You're timeless to me
[Verse 10]
You're like a broken down Chevy
All I need is a fresh coat of paint
Oh, and Edna, you got me going hot and heavy
You're fat and old, baby, boring, you ain't
[Verse 11]
Some folks don't get it, but we never fret it
'Cause we know that time is our friend
Yeah, it's plain to see that you're stuck with me
Until the bitter end
[Verse 12]
And we got a kid who's blowing the lid
Off the Turnblad family tree
[Verse 13]
You'll always hit the spot, big shot
You're timeless to me
You'll always be du jour, mon amor
You're timeless to me
[Verse 14]
You'll always be first string
Ring a ding ding
You're timeless to me
You're timeless to me
You're timeless to me
You're timeless to me
