I’m too good lookin’ to die he said                                 
I’m too good lookin’ to die                                    
I was born with dimples and wavy hair                                         
I’m too good lookin’ to die                                    

I long for the fifties and rock and roll                            
Chuck Berry, Little Richard they thrilled my soul                    
I ducked and covered, waited for the bomb                        
Lived through Nixon, skipped Viet Nam                            
I’m a child of the sixties I love mankind                            
I want to be happy, have peace of mind                            

These were the things he said to me        
As I pulled up to the light                                    
He was holdin’ a sign that said hungry and cold                        
Please help me make it through this night                            

Chorus

It took some time to find the meaning of life                        
And I lost my way, and I lost my wife                            
Now that my time is all but gone                                
I see where it is that I went wrong                                
I should’a been a model, a movie star                            
I’m so good lookin’, I could’da have gone far                            

These were the things he said to me        
As I pulled up to the light                                    
He was holdin’ a sign that said hungry and cold                        
Please help me make it through this night                            

Chorus

I’m to good lookin’ to die
