ELIXIR OF YOUTH

From You Can't Beat 'Em

She claimed her Grandpapa live on a hill
Though she was 60 or more, he was youthful still
He said he lived on berries and herbs
Picked from a place he knew well
It's whereabouts he wouldn't tell

Oh no, no-one before had ever discovered eternity's truth
Discovered the secret Elixir of Youth

Though he was free of both death and disease
Preferring to live a recluse
Learning to talk to the birds and the breeze
Knowing eternity's truth
The secret Elixir of Youth

She begged her Grandpapa's secret he'd tell
He'd not disclose it to her for he knew too well
She'd bargain for health and misuse it for health
And trade it for less than it's worth
Not just to the few who deserved

Oh no, noen but the pure must ever discover eternity's truth
Discover the secret Elixir of Youth

So to be free of both death and disease
Convince him you must of your use
Rare is the mortal whose greed be at peace
|Knowing eternity's truth
The secret Elixir of Youth
