[chorus]
how do i know my youth is all spent?
my get up and go just got up and went
and in spite of it all, i’m able to grin
and think of the places my get up has been

[verse 1]
old age is golden, so i’ve heard said
but sometimes i wonder as i crawl into bed
my ears in a drawer, my t–th in a cup
my eyes on the table until i wake up

[verse 2]
as sleep dims my vision, i say to myself
is there anything else i should put on the shelf?
but nations are warring and business is vexed
i’ll still stick around to see what happens next

[chorus]
how do i know my youth is all spent?
my get up and go just got up and went
but in spite of it all, i’m able to grin
when i think of thе places my get up has been

[verse 3]
when i was youngеr, my slippers were red
i could kick up my heels right over my head
when i was older my slippers were blue
but still i could dance the whole night through
[verse 4]
now i am older, my slippers are black
i huff to the store and i puff my way back
but never you laugh, i don’t mind at all
i’d rather be huffing than not puff at all

[chorus]
and how do i know my youth is all spent?
my get up and go just got up and went
but in spite of it all, i’m able to grin
when i think of the places my get up has been

[instrumental bridge]

[verse 5]
i get up each morning and dust off my wits
open the paper and read the obits
if i’m not in there, i know i’m not dead
so i eat a good breakfast and go back to bed

[chorus]
and how do i know my youth is all spent?
my get up and go just got up and went
but in spite of it all, i’m able to grin
and think of the places my get up has been
[chorus]
how do i know my youth is all spent?
my get up and go just got up and went
but in spite of it all, i’m able to grin
and think of the places my get up has been
