A Well Known Fact

[MICHAEL, spoken]
Women, you see, are different from men. They look marvelous when they're young, but then when a woman achieves her matronly station, there begins a certain process of, well... deterioration. Now, just a minute, let me finish!

It's a well known fact that a man is more attractive the older that he grows

(sung)
He's like a late October rose
He's noticed everywhere he goes
It's the strangest thing
But a man is more distinguished
As time starts sliding by
Although I really don't know why
I couldn't change it if I try
Unfortunate... may be
But changeable it's not
Men of forty go to town
Women go to pot

It's a well known fact
That a man is more attractive
With each passing year
He gets more and more attractive
And the girls react
It's a well known fact!

When a man is under 21, he is not worth a damn
He thinks that he's a tiger, but he's really just a lamb
He growls. He roars. He wears his trousers tight
But he's like that no-good hound of ours: all bark, no bite!

When a man is under 31, he's like domestic beer
He has a certain body, but he doesn't have it here
(Michael points to his head.)
He wheels. He deals. He doesn't spare expense
But he's like the national budget: all bills, no sense!

But when a man is 41
He's entering his prime
Delightfully witty, still he's wise
For he's stood the test of time!
