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 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
