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.
|
