Jimmy Durante Old Man Time
Old man time, he’s so mean
Meanest man you’ve ever seen
He gives you youth; then he steals it away
He takes your nice pretty hair; turns it gray
He makes you rich, makes you poor; he’ a dog!
All your dreams and your schemes aint worth a dime
So have a good time every day, cuz you’ll never get away
From old man, old man time
Old man time, that boog-a-boo
Every year, he changes you
He bends your back, dims your eyes, you see less
You quake and shake and when he’s through, you’re a mess
Makes you fat, thin or tall he plays tricks on us all
Every year, he changes you; no sense or rhyme
He gives you beauty charm and grace
Then puts wrinkles on your face
That’s old man, old man time…
But there’s one thing he can’t change
Love that’s true stays the same
It lives on, on and on in any climb
So you don't ever have to fret
Fall in love and you‘ll forget
That’s old man, old man time…
Yes old man, old man time.
