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 hometown

Don't mind the gray in your hair
Just think about all the fun you've had puttin' it there
As for that old book of Tan, you've never skipped a page
So don't be ashamed of your age, brother
Don't be ashamed of your age

Listen Mr. Smith, Mr. Brown
Don't let your age get you down
Life ain't begun until you're forty some
That's when you really start to go to town

Don't wish that you were a lad
Why boy, you've lost more gals than thеy've ever had
And listеn, you've graduated from that old sucker stage
So don't be ashamed of your age, brother
Don't be ashamed of your age
