- Chorus:
- How do I know my youth is
all spent?
My get up and go has got up and went.
But in spite of it all I'm able to grin,
And think of the places my get up has been.
-
- Verse:
- Old age is golden, so I've
heard said,
But sometimes I wonder as I crawl into bed,
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup,
My eyes on the table until I wake up.
- As sleep dims my vision,
I say to myself,
"Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?"
But though nations are warring and business is vexed.
I'll still stick around to see what happens next.
