Ninety-nine Ninety-nine!

I said
"Ninety-nine ninety-nine"
to my year of ninety-nine

when I went to bed
tonight

I shed
no tears

I led
no cheers

I fed
no fears

I laid
my head
down on my pillow

Just let my self go

I know
I'll be one hundred
and more

awake or no more

when tomorrow appears
at my door
