Song parody: "Who'll Stop the Gray?" (Vanity, vanity...)

WHO'LL STOP THE GRAY?
Tune: "Who'll Stop the Rain?"

Long as I remember,
I've looked thirty-three.
I hear the waitress sayin',
"Must see some ID."
Who can guess my age is
Fifty years today?
And I wonder,
Still I wonder:
Who'll spot the gray?

Won't do Grecian Form'la,
And I don't want Just For Men.
I can say the white hairs
Are blond ones just mixed in.
Still the gray keeps comin',
More and more each day,
And I wonder,
Still I wonder:
Who'll stop the gray?

Tried to trim the white ones
Out of my goatee,
But if I shave it all off,
I'll look seventeen!
Still the gray keeps comin'--
Make it go away!
And I wonder,
Still I wonder:
Who'll stop the gray?

We need another song with the same title about our despised Governor Gray Davis here in California.

Nice one! And from "Cosmo's Factory" too! (Probably my favorite one, or maybe "Green River," or maybe...)
