| Said a small boy once
|
| asked:"When will I grow up?"
|
| When will I see what grownups do see?"
|
| And he’s bout to come his age
|
| he will act another age
|
| to be reconized is
|
| quite another mess
|
| And mama used to say:
|
| «Take your time young man»
|
| And mama used to say:
|
| «Don't you rush to get old»
|
| And mama used to say:
|
| «Take it in your stride»
|
| And mama used to say:
|
| «Live your life»
|
| As the years where rushing by
|
| he will cut down on his age,
|
| he will tell his girl of how it used to be.
|
| How his mommy past away
|
| but this lines she would say
|
| at the time
|
| he couldnt understand
|
| And mama used to say:
|
| «Take your time young man»
|
| And mama used to say:
|
| «Don't you rush to get old»
|
| And mama used to say:
|
| «Take it in your stride»
|
| And mama used to say:
|
| «Live your life»
|

|

|
| «When will I grow up?»
|
| When will I see what grownups do see?"
|
| At a time to come to come of age
|

|
| To be reconized is quite another mess!
