Feeling 42 (even though today I'm 43)



 It feels like a perfect night to dress up like team moms
And sign up for sports teams, uh uh uh uh



It feels like a perfect night for red wine at midnight
To covet shoes on Zappos, uh uh uh uh



Yeaaaah
We're happy tired and in debt at the same time
It's miserable and magical oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the dishes, it's time uh uh



I don't know about you but I'm feeling 42
Everything will be alright if you keep pick up these damn shoes







You don't know about me 'cause I'm not on YouTube
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 42, 42





42. . . 42


It seems like one of those nights
This table's too junky 

for dinner and homework uh uh, uh uh 




It seems like one of those nights
We ditch the whole thing and end up singing instead of reading




Yeaaaah
We're dieting and sexy in the best way




We're training for a 10K, oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the Spanx lines, it's time uh uh




I don't know about you but I'm feeling 42
Everything will be alright if you just do what I told you



You don't know about me ('cause I'm not in your carpool)
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 42, 42



I don't know about you, 42, 42





It feels like one of those nights

Don't know if I'm snack mom!


It feels like one of those nights
When Mom won't be sleeping



It feels like one of those nights

I don't need no bad news 
I want some new shoes, I want some new shoes


I don't know about you but I'm feeling 42
Everything will be alright if there's no calls from school




Yeah, I know about Wii, and I'm nice on X-box, too
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 42, 42






42, yeah, 42, yeah yeah




It feels like one of those nights
We need a girls' night!





It feels like one of those nights

The dads won't be sleeping!


It feels like one of those nights
The kids aren't up, dude . . . .



I gotta have you, I gotta have you. . . . .

Happy Saturday. And Happy Birthday to me. And to you, it yours is today or coming up.

Even though I'm technically 43 today, all of it blends together at a certain point. Plus, "43" didn't work for the song. Ha ha ha. Oh yeah! All of the pictures are from my year as a 42 year-old so that counts. It totally counts, man.

Lots of good 43 year old shenanigans planned for tonight. . . . . . .

Now playing on my mental iPod -- but with my revised lyrics!

  1. Yes you are on YouTube but thankfully not for infamous reasons. Actually I'm on YouTube making pancakes with Jack. What I really wanted to say is happy birthday.
