When I was young
I had not a worry at all
When I was young
I could still play ball
Now I am old
As old as a rock
Now I am old
Like a smelly sock
My back always hurts
I get cramps all the time
My back always hurts
It is not very sublime
When I was young
I had sharp teeth
When I was young
I could eat a Heath
Now I am old
I’m sitting in a rocking chair
Now I am old
I can’t battle a polar bear
When I was young
Everything was mine
When I was young
Oh—there’s nothing to rhyme. ❏
