    This is a light-hearted song that looks at a saying my father has always used when asked how he was doing. He'd always say "I'm in pretty good shape for a man my age and the shape I'm in."

    Story Behind the Song
    One of my Dad's favorite sayings when someone asks how he is....I'm in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in...

    Lyrics
    Pretty Good Shape
    Words and Music by Spencer Martin

    "How are you doing?" is the standard line
    Well, most folks say "Oh I'm just fine"...
    But my old man's answer has always been
    "I'm in pretty good shape"(Pretty Good Shape)
    "For the shape I'm in"

    I'm in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in
    whether short and fat or tall and thin
    A beauty contest I might not win,
    but I'm in pretty good shape
    for the shape I'm in.

    Life is hard and takes it's toll
    and he's showing signs of growing old
    No, time's not exactly dad's best friend
    (He'd say) "I'm in pretty good shape"(Pretty Good Shape)
    "For the shape I'm in"

    I'm in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in
    whether short and fat or tall and thin
    A beauty contest I might not win,
    but I'm in pretty good shape
    for the shape I'm in.

    When he meets St. Peter at heaven's door
    I bet he uses that line just once more...
    When asked to describe his struggle with sin
    (I bet he says) "I'm in pretty good shape"(Pretty Good Shape)
    "For the shape I'm in"

    I'm in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in
    whether short and fat or tall and thin
    A beauty contest I might not win,
    but I'm in pretty good shape
    for the shape I'm in.

    Pretty good shape (Pretty good shape)
    I'm in pretty good shape (Pretty good shape)
    He'll tell St. Peter "Ya better let me in
    cause I'm in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in"

    "Yeah my waist is thick and my hair is thin,
    but I'm in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in"

    "I gotta twinkle in my eye and a silly grin
    but I'm in pretty good shape".....
