Old Man Time - Jimmy Durante

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 ain’t 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
