Well, you can tell by the way she’ll use her Mud Walk
She’s a healthy grandma with no time to talk
If it’s Icy weather or sunny and warm, we’re gonna kick a 5k
Because Tutu was born
If you are fat, it’s okay
Just don’t wait another day
You can bike, or walk or run
Just get outside and have some fun!
Whether you’re our brother or our nephew’s mother
We’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
Get your heart beatin’ then we’re on-line meetin’
Cuz we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
Ha, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
Ha, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive
Well our Tutu has turned 94
She’s not done, she wants more more more!
Run, walk, climb, crawl, cycle or swim
Take a selfie and share, don’t be a bore.
If you are fat, it’s okay
Just don’t wait another day
Lace up that shoe for our tutu
Just get outside and and power through
-Ursula, Gavin, and the Bee Gees
