 And mama used to say: "Take your time young man"
 And mama used to say: "Don't you rush to get old"
 And mama used to say: "Take it in your stride"
 And mama used to say: "Live your life"
 
 Said a small boy once asked: "When will I grow up?"
 When will I see what grownups do see?"
 
 In his strive to become a man, he will act an older age
 To be reconized as man among the men
 
 And mama used to say: "Take your time young man"
 And mama used to say: "Don't you rush to get old"
 And mama used to say: "Take it in your stride"
 And mama used to say: "Live your life"
 
 As the years where rushing by
 He will cut down on his age
 He will tell his girl of how it used to be
 
 Now, his mama past away
 But this lines she would say
 At that time he couldn't understand
 
 And mama used to say: "Take your time young man"
 And mama used to say: "Don't you rush to get old"
 And mama used to say: "Take it in your stride"
 And mama used to say: "Live your life"
 
 You're young, so enjoy, so hold on back
 Do what you want to do
 
 Now is the time for you to strive
 For you to get better in what you are doing!
 
 And mama used to say: "Take your time young man"
 And mama used to say: "Don't you rush to get old"
 And mama used to say: "Take it in your stride"
 And mama used to say: "Live your life"
 
 And mama used to say: "Take your time young man"
 And mama used to say: "Don't you rush to get old"
 And mama used to say: "Take it in your stride"
 And mama used to say: "Live your life"
