Don't Be Ashamed Of Your Age

Don't be ashamed of your age 
Don't let the years 
Get you down 
That old gang you knew 
They still think of you 
As a rounder 
In your old home town 

Don't mind 
The grey in your hair 
Just think of the fun 
You had puttin' it there 
And as for 
That old book of time 
Boy, you never skipped a page 
So 
Don't be ashamed of your age 
Brother 
Don't be ashamed of your age 

Now, listen 
Mr. Smith and Mr. Brown 
Don't let the years get you down 
'Cause life ain't begun 
Until you're forty some 
That's when you really start 
To go to town 
Now don't wish 
That you were a lad 
Why boy, you've lost more girls 
Than they've ever had 
And once more you've graduated 
From that ol' stubborn stage 
So 
Don't be ashamed of your age 
Brother 
Don't be ashamed of your age
