When I was young and in my prime The girls used to hold me up all the time But I'm gettin' old every day It's a pity that now I ain't gettin' any! So la la la la... La la la la la... They used to call me their Lover Man But what they call me now is a dirty shame If I could live my life all over again I'd never pass the age of ten! So la la la la... La la la la la... You heard my strong, I sung my song Believe me nobody wants you when your youth is gone So take my advice as a friend When your youth is gone, that's the end! So la la la la... La la la la la...
