Timeless To Me
Christopher Walken Lyrics

Styles keep a-changing, the world's rearranging
Fashion trends are ever-evolving and the world is changing rapidly

But Edna, you're timeless to me
But you, Edna, are unchanging and constant in my view

Hemlines are shorter, a beer crossed a quarter
Skirts are getting shorter and the price of beer has increased

But time cannot take what comes free
But time cannot take away what is naturally given

You're like a stinky old cheese, babe
You are like a strong aged cheese, my dear

Just getting riper with age
You are getting better and more valuable with time

You're like a fatal disease, babe
You are like an incurable disease

But there's no cure so let this fever rage
But I don't want to be cured because I adore you

Some folks can't stand it, say time is a bandit
Some people dislike time and view it as a thief

But I take the opposite view
But I have the opposite opinion

'Cause when I need a lift, time brings a gift
Because when I need a boost, time gives me another day with you

Another day with you
Another day with the one I love

A twist or a waltz, it's all the same schmaltz
Whether we dance a twist or waltz, it's equally sappy

With just a change in the scenery
With only a change in surroundings

You'll never be old hat, that's that
You'll never be unfashionable, that's a fact

You're timeless to me
You are timeless and unchanging in my eyes

Oh, Wilbur, I love you
Oh, Wilbur, I love you

Fads keep a-fading, Castro's invading
Fashion trends continue to come and go, while Castro is taking over

But Wilbur, you're timeless to me
But, Wilbur, you are always constant in my view

Hairdos are higher, mine feels like barbed wire
Hairdos are becoming more prominent, while mine feels tangled

But you say I'm chic as can be
But you believe I am fashionable as ever

You're like a rare vintage ripple
You are like a rare and unforgettable vintage drink

A vintage they'll never forget
A vintage that they will always remember

So pour me a teeny weenie triple
So, give me a small amount of a triple-strength drink

And we can toast the fact, we ain't dead yet
And we can celebrate the fact that we are still alive and kicking

I can't stop eating, your hairline's receding
I can't stop eating, while your hairline is receding

And soon you'll have nothing at all
And soon you'll be bald

So, you'll wear a wig while I roast a pig
So, you'll wear a wig while I cook a pig

Hey, pass that Geritol
Hey, pass that Geritol (a brand of vitamins and iron supplement drink)

Glenn Miller had brass, that Chubby Checker's a gas
Glenn Miller had an incredible sound, Chubby Checker is amazing

But they all pass eventually
But, eventually, everyone comes and goes

You'll never be passé, hip hooray
You'll never be outdated, hip hooray

You're timeless to me
You are unchanging and eternal in my eyes

You're like a broken down Chevy
You are like an old, rusty Chevy car

All I need is a fresh coat of paint
All you need is a fresh and new appearance

And Edna, you got me going hot and heavy
And, Edna, you still make me feel passionate and intense

You're fat and old (what?), baby, boring, you ain't
You may be overweight and old, but you are not dull, my dear

Some folks don't get it but we never fret it
Some people don't understand us, but we don't worry about it

'Cause we know that time is our friend
Because we know that time is on our side

Yeah, it's plain to see that you're stuck with me
Yes, it's clear that you are forever tied to me

Until the bitter end
Until the very end

And we got a kid who's blowing the lid
And we have a child who is stirring things up

Off the Turnblad family tree
Off of the Turnblad family tree

You'll always hit the spot, big shot
You'll always be perfect and amazing, big guy

You're timeless to me
You are timeless and eternal in my eyes

You'll always be du jour, mon amour
You will always be a hot commodity, my love

You're timeless to me
You are unchanging and forever enduring in my eyes

You'll always be first string, ring a ding ding
You always come first, with a cheerful amount of noise

You're timeless to me
You are never-ending and classic in my view

You're timeless to me
You are unchanging and eternal in my eyes
