(You’re) Timeless to Me

Lyrics

[WILBUR] Styles keep a-changin', the world's rearrangin' But Edna, you're timeless to me Hemlines are shorter, a beer costs a quarter But time cannot take what comes free 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 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 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 [EDNA, spoken] Oh, Wilbur, I love you [EDNA] 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 You're like a rare vintage ripple A vintage they'll never forget So pour me a teeny weenie triple And we can toast that we ain't dead yet 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 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 [Dance break.] [WILBUR] You're like a broken down Chevy [EDNA] All I need is a fresh coat of paint [WILBUR] And Edna, you got me going hot and heavy You're fat and old, baby, boring, you ain't [WILBUR & EDNA] 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 And we got a kid who's blowing the lid Off the Turnblad family tree [EDNA] You'll always hit the spot, big shot You're timeless to me [WILBUR] You'll always be du jour, mon amour You're timeless to me [EDNA] You'll always be first string [WILBUR] Ring a ding ding [WILBUR & EDNA] You're timeless to me [EDNA] You're timeless to me [WILBUR] You're timeless to me [WILBUR & EDNA] You're timeless to me
