'Maybe I don't have to hang it up yet. I look fantastic, but I'm a hundred years old, right?' the soft rock legend - turning 83 next month - said to the LA Times on Wednesday.
'I don't know how that happened, by the way - I don't get or anything.'
Manilow (born Pincus) then revealed he did have one when he and his manager husband Garry Kief 'lived in LA' and he'd have another one if he noticed 'something [was] falling down.'

It was Manilow's second time down the aisle after his after just one year.
The Dancin' in the Aisles singer - who still pulls 4.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify - is scheduled to perform June 25 in Reading, Pennsylvania but it's unclear if he'll be well enough.
'Since the surgery, I can't go on the road. 90 minutes of screaming in tune, which is what I do for a living — I'm not up for that yet,' Manilow said.
'I will be, but it's taking a long time to get my voice back. They warned me that I'd have to learn to breathe again. So these days, I get up, I go to my piano and I try to be creative. Before I know it, the afternoon's over.'
The Songwriters Hall of Famer added: 'I just have to get better and do what the doctors are telling me. It's the only way out.'
