Lyrics:
The great de Tornyay Center
Plays an instrumental role
A champion for aging –
Now what a worthy goal!
They research healthy aging
From the body to the brain
They mentor gero nurses
And they leave them so well-trained!
Chorus:
I’m getting older, and so are you!
It seems that once we’re born that is the one
thing we all do!
We’re getting older, yes it’s true!
But with the de Tornyay Center, aging now is
something new!
They educate providers
How to help folks age with grace
They advocate to make the world
A more age-friendly place
They reach out to their partners
All across community
Wherever they can put to practice
Gerontology!
Chorus:
I’m getting older, and so are you!
It seems that once we’re born that is the one
thing we all do!
We’re getting older, yes it’s true!
With the de Tornyay Center we can all enjoy
the view!
They help us understand
That growing old’s not all downhill
In fact it’s quite the opposite
Aging can be a thrill!
They’ve changed our views on aging
With the work they’ve done to date
In terms of getting older,
Now I can hardly wait!
Chorus:
I’m getting older, and so are you!
It seems that once we’re born that is the one thing we all do!
We’re getting older, yes it’s true!
With the de Tornyay Center we can
celebrate, yahoo!
