I could get around I didn’t need no help. |
But since I’m old and a-gettin' gray, |
The people look at me and say… |

He’s too old to cut the mustard anymore. |
He’s a-gettin' too old, he’s done got too old, |
He’s too old to cut the mustard anymore. |
I used to could jump just like a deer, |
But now I need a new landing gear. |
I used to could jump a picket fence, |
But now I’m lucky if I jump an inch. |

When I was young I had an automobile, |
I’d scoot myself right under that wheel. |
I had to fight the gals off with a stick, |
But now they say, «Oh, he makes me sick, |
Because he’s…» |
