Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I've got a strange philosophy
Nothing here appeals to me
I like my men like I like my whiskey
Mmm, aged and mellow!

Some girls just can't seem to see
Why these little young cats ain't moving me
But I like my men like I like my whiskey
Mmm, aged and mellow!

There's nothing a greenhorn can do for me
Cause my older daddy suits me to a T
Now I like my men like I like my whiskey
Ooh, aged and mellow!

Now listen youngster, be on your way
Don't bother me til a later day
I like my men like I like my whiskey
Mmm, aged and mellow!

Junior may be young and strong, girl
But I'll take grandpa cause he's had it longer
I like my men like I like my whiskey
Hah, aged and mellow!
