Don't Be Ashamed Of Your Age

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 home town

Don't mind the grey in your hair

Just think of all the fun you had puttin' it there

And as for that old book of time, boy

You never skipped a page, so

Don't be ashamed of your age

Brother, don't be ashamed of your age

Now, listen, Mr. Smith and Mr. Brown

Don't let the years get you down

'Cause life ain't begun until you're forty some

That's when you really start to go to town

Now don't wish that you were a lad

Why, boy? You've lost more girls than they've ever had

And once more you've graduated from that ol' stubborn stage, so

Don't be ashamed of your age

Brother, don't be ashamed of your age
