Mama Used to Say - Junior, Mumzy Stranger

Said a small boy once

asked:"When will I grow up?"

When will I see what grownups do see?"

And he’s bout to come his age

he will act another age

to be reconized is

quite another mess

And mama used to say:

«Take your time young man»

And mama used to say:

«Don't you rush to get old»

And mama used to say:

«Take it in your stride»

And mama used to say:

«Live your life»

As the years where rushing by

he will cut down on his age,

he will tell his girl of how it used to be.

How his mommy past away

but this lines she would say

at the time

he couldnt understand

And mama used to say:

«Take your time young man»

And mama used to say:

«Don't you rush to get old»

And mama used to say:

«Take it in your stride»

And mama used to say:

«Live your life»

You"re young son Joe dont hold all back,

do what you want to do.

Now is the time for you to strive,

For you to get better in what you are doing!

As a small boy once asked,

«When will I grow up?»

When will I see what grownups do see?"

At a time to come to come of age

he will act another age,

To be reconized is quite another mess!
