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 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
