And, in case you missed it, can't remember the words, or just wanted a copy, here are the lyrics to this week's song.

"Yesterday", sung to the tune of "Yesterday" by the Beatles

Yesterday - old age seemed so very far away.
Now it looks as though it's here to stay -
Oh, I felt younger yesterday.

Suddenly, I am twice the age I used to be.
Now it seems I always have to pee.
Oh, I wish it were yesterday.

How I got this old, I don't know
Time flew right by.
I don't know why I came here
CRS is the reason why...

Yesterday, I was half as smart as I am today.
I'll take my wrinkles and my hair of gray.
Oh, I'm just glad I'm her today.
Old age ain't so bad, I say!!
