When you are a baby,
G
and ten months old
D
Everything and anything
G D
You just grab a-hold of
When you're a little boy
G
Just turned four
D
You can't get enough
G D
And can't get no more
When you're a little older
G
And just turned eleven
D
Begin to think about
G D
People that go to heaven
When you are a young man,
G
Just turning twenty
D
Makes it lot harder
G D
If you're not getting any
When you turn forty
You are getting on up there
You don't know how but
You keep getting somewhere
When you turn eighty
Getting to be an old man
Anything is good
Cause you're getting what you can
