Old man time, hes so mean
Meanest man youve 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 aint worth a dime
So have a good time every day, cuz youll 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 hes through, youre 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
Thats old man, old man time
But theres one thing he cant change
Love thats 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 youll forget
Thats old man, old man time
Yes old man, old man time.
