Lyrics The World Is For The Young - Herman's Hermits, Stanley Holloway

The World Is For The Young

Gloria:
I was looking in the mirror last night
My grey hair turned to black
I was looking in the mirror last night
And pleasant memories came back
I remember the time when i was seventeen
And all the things that i wanted to do
The world was new
Tulip:
The world is for the young
C’mon, we’re on our way
Its a wonderful place
But when we done what we’re going to do
Then we’ll have changed it’s face
Mr Brown:
Searching through some papers one day
A sweet scent filled the air
It came from the letter i found
And a lock of dark hair
It belonged to a girl who was in love with me
And she written that without me, she’d die
Mrs Brown: I wonder why?
Mrs Brown:
Looking through an album last night
I came acrossed a snap
That showed a handsome youth
With a girl sitting on his lap
«Valentino?»
i thought, with his sleeked black hair
And Mary Pigford was on his knee
But it was me!
Mr & Mrs:
The world is for the young
But they’ll soon find out
When they come to explore
The strange new lands of expirience
But we’ve been there before
Mr:
Trying to recapture the past
Only makes me regret
The passing of an age and all the people that i’ve met
Gloria:
A ride on a tram on the upper deck
With a boy with a Fairbanks moustache
We were so rash
All:
The world is for the young
It was always so
Mr, Mrs, Gloria:
It’s not ours anymore
But, they’ll find out when they follow us
'cause we’ve been there before
