Mama Used To Say

Oooh
 ♪
 Yeah, yeah
 ♪
 Said a small boy once
 Asked, "When will I grow up?"
 "When will I see what grownups do see?"
 Inspired to come of age
 He would act an older age
 To be recognized is
 Quite another mess
 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 were rushing by
 He will cut down on his age
 He will tell his girl of how it used to be
 How his mommy passed away
 But this lines she would say
 At the 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, son Joe
 Don't 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!
