A Second Fling    (1954)

I'm going to fill the jukebox up with nickels
Dance to every tune
And when it's time to feed the chickens
I'll be howling at the moon

Before I get too old and feeble
Better get back in the swing
I'm going to let my hair down, really bear down
And have me a second fling

I'm tired of sitting here and rocking
I've been getting too much rest
I'll get to be a gray-haired angel
If I don't get this off of my chest

The ladies used to like my loving
And I ain't forgot a thing
I got some oats needs sowing, out I'm going
Have me a second fling

I'm awful sick of watching
All the pretty girls go by
Just standing there and a drooling
While they're giving me the eye

And so tonight I'm going to live it up
Shock everyone in town
And if it takes a hundred years
I guess I'll never live it down

I'm going to do all right, cause tonight's the night
I cut that apron string
I'll take the consequences, lose my senses
And have me a second fling

And so tonight I'm going to live it up
Shock everyone in town
And if it takes a hundred years
I guess I'll never live it down

I'm going to do all right, cause tonight's the night
I cut that apron string
I'll take the consequences, lose my senses
And have me a second fling

Lyrics by Steve Nelson and Joan Javits.
