| Song | Let the Young |
| Artist | Paddy Goes to Holyhead |
| Album | Hooray |
| Now I′m young and in my teens | |
| There′s a lot of things that I ain′t seen | |
| I can work, or study hang out or play | |
| Get married, get stone any old day | |
| Ceasers, bishops, generals and kings | |
| Are all over 40 and the′ve done their thing | |
| They′re power crazy dishonest and dump | |
| They don′t care a damn about the needy and young | |
| [chorus:] | |
| Let the young govern the country | |
| Let the old fight the wars | |
| Let the young govern the country | |
| Let the old fight the wars | |
| Good kings all, we went to your schools | |
| We learned all your golden rules | |
| You oldies tried it and you got it wrong | |
| So now you better listen to this song | |
