Jimmy Durante
Old Man Time
Old man time, he's so meanMeanest man you've ever seenHe gives you youth, then he steals it awayHe takes your nice pretty hair, turns it grayHe makes you rich, makes you poor, he' a dog!All your dreams and your schemes ain't worth a dime So have a good time every day, 'cause you'll never get awayFrom old man, old man timeOld man time, that boog-a-booEvery year, he changes youHe bends your back, dims your eyes, you see lessYou quake and shake and when he's through, you're a messMakes you fat, thin or tall he plays tricks on us allEvery year, he changes you, no sense or rhyme He gives you beauty charm and graceThen puts wrinkles on your faceThat's old man, old man time'SongtexteBut there's one thing he can't changeLove that's true stays the sameIt lives on, on and on in any climbSo you don't ever have to fretFall in love and you'll forget That's old man, old man time' Yes old man, old man time.
