[Verse] In the state of my age the clock ticks loud Time’s a fiddler playing to a thinning crowd I used to laugh at Oscar’s grouchy scowl But now he's just Oscar—ain’t that wild [Chorus] Oscar now just Oscar No disguise Trash cans to truths I see through his eyes The grouch is gone The man remains In the state of my age It all refrains [Verse 2] The banjo strums and my heartstrings fray Life's a jazzy tune that won’t replay Sesame Street’s not the same parade But Oscar Man He’s unafraid [Bridge] Was he always wise under all that grime Or did I just miss it Caught up in my time The trash was a throne His crown askew Oscar now I see the real you [Chorus] Oscar now just Oscar No disguise Trash cans to truths I see through his eyes The grouch is gone The man remains In the state of my age It all refrains [Outro] So here’s to Oscar No need to pout He taught me what this life’s about Grimy wisdom A trash heap vow In the state of my age He’s just Oscar now
