As I'm gettin' older, chip up on my shoulder
Rollin' through life, you roll over and die

La-li-la-lala
La-li-la-lala
La-li-la-lala
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Missin' Hippie Jon, salad days are gone
Rememberin' things just to tell 'em so long

La-li-la-lala
La-li-la-lala
La-li-la-lala
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, mama, actin' like my life's already over
Oh, dear, act your age and try another year

Always feelin' tired, smilin' when required
Write another year off and kindly resign

La-li-la-lala
La-li-la-lala
La-li-la-lala
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Salad days are gone, missin' Hippie Jon
Rememberin' days just to tell 'em so long

La-li-la-lala
La-li-la-lala
La-li-la-lala
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, mama, actin' like my life's already over
Oh, dear, act your age and try another year

Oh, mama, actin' like my life's already over
Oh, dear, act your age and try another year
