Paragraph Lyric
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 all rounder in your old hometown

Don't mind the gray 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

And now listen Mr. Smith and Mr. Brown
Don't let the years get you down
'Cause life ain't begun, until you're forty, son
That's when you really start to go uptown

And don't wish that you were a lad
While boy, you've lost the old girls they've ever had
And what's more, you've graduated from that old sucker stage
So don't be ashamed of your age
Brother, 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 all rounder in your old hometown      Don't mind the gray 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      And now listen Mr. Smith and Mr. Brown   Don't let the years get you down   'Cause life ain't begun, until you're forty, son   That's when you really start to go uptown      And don't wish that you were a lad   While boy, you've lost the old girls they've ever had   And what's more, you've graduated from that old sucker stage   So don't be ashamed of your age   Brother, don't be ashamed of your age
