When we are young age has no meaning I never gave it a second thought Until one day along came this old man And this is what he said to me And this is what he said to me I know what it is to be young But you, you don't know what it is to be old Someday, you'll be saying the same thing Time takes away so the story is told I've asked so many questions To the wise men i've met Couldn't find all the answers No one has as yet. There'll be days to remember Full of laughter and tears After summer, comes winter and so go the years So my friend. Lets make music together I'll play the old while you sing me the new In time when your young days are over There'll be some one sharing their time with you I know what it is to be young But you, you don't know what it is to be old So my friend. Lets make music together I'll play the old while you sing me the new In time when your young days are over There'll be some one sharing their time with you There'll be some one sharing their time with you

The yellow walls are lined with portraits And I've got my new red fetching leather jacket All these poses such beautiful poses Makes any boy feel like picking up roses There's never been such grave a matter As comparing our new brand name black sunglasses All these poses such beautiful poses Makes any boy feel as pretty as princes The green autumnal parks conducting And the city streets a wondrous chorus singing All these poses, oh, how can you blame me? Life is a game and true love is a trophy And you said Watch my head about it Baby, you said watch my head about it My head about it Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no Oh, no, oh, no, no kidding Reclined amongst these packs of reasons For to smokes the days away into the evenings All these poses of classical torture Ruined my mind like a snake in the orchard I did go from wanting to be someone now I'm drunk and wearing flip, flops on Fifth Avenue Once you've fallen from classical virtue Won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you In the green autumnal parks conducting All the city streets a wondrous chorus Singing all these poses now no longer boyish Made me a man now but who cares what that is? And you said watch my head about it Baby, you said watch my head about it My head about it Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no Oh, no, oh, no, well you said Watch my head about it Baby, you said watch my head about it My head about it Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no Oh, no, oh, no, no kidding
