Do we have to get older? We do
Do we have to get older? We do
So besides getting grey hair
Guess what showed up in the mail?
My very own white telephone
My very own white telephone to God

When the white telephone rings, it's him
It's not happened to me yet
But it's happened to my friend
Hearing from the other end
We all have to get older, it's true
And then St. Peter said
"Better older than dead"
So you're being one to change your diet

Fresh bread, garlic, butter
Toasted, dipped in the starter
Some days don't you just need sticky toffee pudding plus
Extra caramel sauce for luck?

Roasted taters and gravy
Pizza thin pepperoni
I'll make a deal with you
Hold the booze and not tiramisu
You think you get tiramisu?

Cheesecake, red velvet cupcakes
Some favor their dream burger
Fish and chips with tartar sauce
Fear will come a weight gain, love 

When the white telephone rings, it's him
It's not happened to me yet
But if I don't change my diet
Hearing from the end
We all have to get older, we do
But then St. Peter said 
"Better older than dead"
"That's your warning from your white telephone"
My very own white telephone to God
