Joy Of Being Young

I loved being young
Why did I have to change
This mysterious question that’s not coming off my tongue
And It is really strange

I don’t like being old
With all my wrinkly skin
And the worst of all is that I might go bald
If that happened id throw myself in the bin

The advantage of being young
Is that you never get in trouble
Even when you’re in the bath and you do a big dung
And sometimes it can bubble

O the joy of being young
I hope you like being young too.
