This is a song about a Waldorf Salad, among other things. It deals with getting older in a way that only Cheryl could write. I'm not sure if this will be the final title to this song, but when I asked Cheryl, this is what she was thinking of calling it.
Cheryl hates Waldorf Salads. When Cheryl was young, she would have to eat them because, after all, "you like everything in there." But as Cheryl responds, "Yeah, but not all together!"
Although there are a number of problems with getting older, one of the benefits of growing up is that when somebody offers you a Waldorf Salad, you can say: "No Thank You."

- I used to hope the aliens would please pick me
- Now if I saw a spaceship
- I would u-turn and floor it
- Ta-ta ET
- Maybe my sense of adventure receded from focus
- To dwindle and then disappear
- Or maybe it's just getting hard not to notice
- There's plenty to do around here
- I used to run fast just to dive to the ground
- In our Cheyenne and Sugarfoot game
- Now it's true I get stiff just from sitting around
- But I do like to sit just the same
- And I don't mind the old, I don't mind the gray
- It's not like I was Miss Clairol anyway
- And it's okay with me that I will not be
- The first to find out if the swing works okay
- 'cause I don't have to remember Laissez-Faire taught us
- I don't even own any good shoes
- And if you're having apples with mayonnaise and walnuts
- I can just say "no thank you"
