[Chorus]
F C
How do I know my youth is all spent?
G C
My get up and go has got up and went
F C
But in spite of it all, I'm able to grin
G C
And think of the places my get-up has been
[Verse]
C F G
Old age is golden, so I've heard said
C
But sometimes I wonder as I crawl into bed
F C
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup
G
My eyes on the table until I wake up
C F G
As sleep dims my vision, I say to myself
C
Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?
F C
But though nations are warring and business is vexed
G C
I'll still stick around to see what happens next
[Chorus]
F C
How do I know my youth is all spent?
G C
My get up and go has got up and went
F C
But in spite of it all, I'm able to grin
G C
And think of the places my get-up has been
[Verse]
C F C
When I was younger, my slippers were red
C
I could kick up my heels right over my head
F C
When I was older my slippers were blue
G
But still, I could dance the whole night thru
C F G
Now I am old, my slippers are black
C
I huff to the store and I puff my way back
F C
But never you laugh, I don't mind at all
G C
I'd rather be huffing than not puff at all
[Chorus]
F C
How do I know my youth is all spent?
G C
My get up and go has got up and went
F C
But in spite of it all, I'm able to grin
G C
And think of the places my get-up has been
[Verse]
C F G
I get up each morning and dust off my wits
C
Open the paper and read the obits
F C
If I'm not there, I know I'm not dead
G C
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed
[Chorus]
F C
How do I know my youth is all spent?
G C
My get up and go has got up and went
F C
But in spite of it all, I'm able to grin
G C
And think of the places my get-up has been
