[Verse 1]
Your daddy was tall, he fought in the war
Your mama was wild, she never came home
And I was a distant daughter
Me and my friends slept with the stones
By the light of the lake, with luck in our bones
And I was the man in the moon

[Chorus]
We'll swing (Swing)
Swing (Swing)
From the brass ring (Brass ring)
And we will (We will)
Never be this young again

[Verse 2]
Take me there again one day
Let the cold water come and wash it away
On the Russian (The Russian)
The Russian (Oh, the Russian) River

[Chorus]
We'll swing (Swing)
Swing (Swing)
From the brass ring (Brass ring)
And we will (We will)
Never be this young again
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
We'll swing (Swing)
Swing (Swing)
From the brass ring (Brass ring)
'Cause we will (We will)
Never be this young
We will (We will)
Never be this young again

[Outro]
Never, never, never be
Never, never, never be
Never, never, never be
Never, never, never be
