Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I'm getting older, chip up on my shoulder
Rolling through life, to roll over and die
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Missing Hippie Jon, salad days are gone
Remembering things just to tell 'em so long
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Oh, mama
Acting like my life's already over
Oh, dear
Act your age and try another year
[Verse 3]
Always feeling tired, smiling when required
Write another year off and kindly resign
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 4]
Salad days are gone, missing Hippie Jon
Remember the days just to tell 'em so long
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Oh, mama
Acting like my life's already over
Oh, dear
Act your age and try another year
[Chorus]
Oh, mama
Acting like my life's already over
Oh, dear
Act your age and try another year
