The Younger Generation

Age calls the tune, youth's over soon

That is the natural law

There's a younger generation

Knock, knock, knocking at the door

Why sit and fret

Vainly regret

Things that have gone before?

There's a younger generation

Knock, knock, knocking at the door

Though the world is well lost for love dreams

There's wisdom above dreams

To compensate mothers and wives

When the joys of youth have passed them

This should last them all their lives

I've had my fun

All that is done

Why should I sigh for more?

There's a younger generation

Knock, knock, knocking at the door

There's a younger generation

Knock, knock, knocking at the door
