Lyrics

[00:01.630]
[00:27.810] Said a small boy once
[00:29.210] asked:"When will I grow up?"
[00:31.340] When will I see what grownups do see?"
[00:35.490] And he's bout to come his age
[00:37.530] he will act another age
[00:39.670] to be reconized is
[00:41.270] quite another mess
[00:43.290] And mama used to say:
[00:44.740] "Take your time young man"
[00:46.930] And mama used to say:
[00:48.890] "Don't you rush to get old"
[00:51.970] And mama used to say:
[00:53.800] "Take it in your stride"
[00:56.020] And mama used to say:
[00:58.350] "Live your life"
[01:01.890] As the years where rushing by
[01:03.990] he will cut down on his age,
[01:06.160] he will tell his girl of how it used to be.
[01:09.970] How his mommy past away
[01:12.060] but this lines she would say
[01:14.070] at the time
[01:16.030] he couldnt understand
[01:17.800] And mama used to say:
[01:20.820] "Take your time young man"
[01:22.900] And mama used to say:
[01:24.620] "Don't you rush to get old"
[01:27.250] And mama used to say:
[01:28.610] "Take it in your stride"
[01:31.050] And mama used to say:
[01:32.780] "Live your life"
[01:36.400] You"re young son Joe dont hold all back,
[01:40.540] do what you want to do.
[01:44.910] Now is the time for you to strive,
[01:48.890] For you to get better in what you are doing!
[02:13.240] As a small boy once asked,
[02:15.020] "When will I grow up?"
[02:16.840] When will I see what grownups do see?"
[02:20.830] At a time to come to come of age
[02:23.170] he will act another age,
[02:24.900] To be reconized is quite another mess!
[02:29.380] Hey mama used to say:
