Parody of SNSD "Twinkle" (Grannies' Generation "Wrinkle") & Lyrics

Scared of getting wrinkles? Listen to Granny Kim's words of wisdom.
PS: This parody has been inspired by SNSD's mega winking skills ;)

Lyrics to Grannies' Generation "Wrinkle"

BILLY JIN:
OMG! I got a wrinkle around my eye!

TAEKWON DO:
That's because you wink too much.

GRANNY KIM:
Wrinkles are a sign of wisdom.
The more you wink, the wiser you get.

BONGJA:
Hold on a minute.
Do you hear that?
It's Grannies' Generation.

GRANNY KIM:
The wrinkle, the wrinkle...
The wrinkle, the wrinkle...

PROFESSOR OH:
숨겨도 wrinkle 어쩌나? (Even if you hide it, the wrinkle shows. What are you going to do?)
눈에 확 띄잖아 (If catches everyone's attention)
베일에 싸여 있어도 (Even when covered with a veil)
너는 wrinkle 티가나 (Your wrinkle can't be ignored)

BILLY JIN:
딴 사람들도 다 (Other people, too)
윙크 하는 나를 좋아해 (Love it when I wink)
항상 로션 발라야 돼 (I always have to apply lotion)
콜라겐 훔친 너잖아 (Because of you who steals my collagen)

GRANNY KIM:
Ha ha ha Granny Kim
너무 예민해 너무 조심해 (You're too sensitive. You're too careful.)
태양은 네 적이 아니야 (The sun is not your enemy)
주름 몇개 어때서? (So what if you have a few wrinkles?)
말도 안되게 넌 너무 걱정해 (You worry unbelievably too much)
인생을 즐겨라 얘들아! (Enjoy your life, kids!)

BONGJA:
커지는 wrinkle 괜찮아 (It's okay, that growing wrinkle)
눈에 확 띄어라 (Let it catch everyone's attention)
주름은 지헤의 상징이야 uhuh~ (Wrinkles are a sign of wisdom. Uhuh~)
나는wisdom 티가나 (My wisdom is obvious)

PROFESSOR OH:
The grannies do have a point here
(할머니들이 맞는 소리 하시는 것 같아.)
We're all going to get wrinkly like raisins eventually
(결국은 우리가 모두 건보도 처럼 쭈글쭈글 늙겠지.)
We might as well embrace our destiny
(우리의 운명을 받아드려야지.)
커지는 wrinkle 괜찮아
(It's okay, that growing wrinkle)

BILLY JIN:
괜찮아, 괜찮아
(It's okay, it's okay)

PROFESSOR OH:
눈에 확 띄어라
(Let it be apparent)

BILLY JIN:
눈에 확 띄어라
(Let it be apparent)

PROFESSOR OH:
주름은 지헤의 상징이야
(Wrinkles are a sign of wisdom)
우리wisdom 티가나
(Our wisdom is obvious)

BONGJA:
Botox is overrated.

GRANNY KIM:
Keep on winking kids.
