Now don't be ashamed of your age*
And don't let the years get you down
That old game you knew, they still think of you
As the rounder in your own home town
Now don't mind the gray in your hair
Just think about all the fun you 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
Mr. George Jones, don't be ashamed of your age
Now listen here to me, Jerry Lee
Don't let your age get you down
While life ain't be gone until you're forty some
That's when you really start to go to town
Oh, don't wish to chew her leg
Why boy, you've lost more calcium they've ever had
Listen, you've graduated from that old sucker state
So don't be ashamed of your age
Don't be ashamed of your age
And we're not ashamed of our age
