Lyrics Old Man Time - Jimmy Durante

Old Man Time

Old man time, he?
s so mean
Meanest man you?
ve ever seen
He gives you youth;
then he steals it away
He takes your nice pretty hair;
turns it gray
He makes you rich, makes you poor;
he?
a dog!
All your dreams and your schemes ain’t worth a dime
So have a good time every day, cuz you?
ll never get away
From old man, old man time
Old man time, that boog-a-boo
Every year, he changes you
He bends your back, dims your eyes, you see less
You quake and shake and when he?
s through, you?
re a mess
Makes you fat, thin or tall he plays tricks on us all
Every year, he changes you;
no sense or rhyme
He gives you beauty charm and grace
Then puts wrinkles on your face
That?
s old man, old man time?
But there?
s one thing he can?
t change
Love that?
s true stays the same
It lives on, on and on in any climb
So you don’t ever have to fret
Fall in love and you?
ll forget
That?
s old man, old man time?
Yes old man, old man time
