|
Don't be ashamed of your age. |
|
Don't let the years get you down. |
|
That old gang you knew, they still think of you |
|
As a rounder in your old hometown. |
|
Don't mind the grey in your hair. |
|
Just think of all the fun you've had puttin' it there. |
|
As for that old book of time, you've never skipped a page. |
|
So don't be ashamed of your age, brother. |
|
Don't be ashamed of your age. |
|
Listen, Mr. Smith, Mr. Brown, |
|
Don't let your age get you down. |
|
Life ain't begun until you're 40, son. |
|
That's when you really start to go to town. |
|
Don't wish that you were a lad. |
|
Why, boy, you've lost more gals than they've ever had. |
|
And, listen, you've graduated from that ol' sucker stage, |
|
So don't be ashamed of your age, brother. |
|
Don't be ashamed of your age. |
