lyrics

I was just a little boy
My father said to me
‘Don't ever play with guns
Or watch too much TV’.
Now I'm watching Elvis
On a jumbo screen
With a big ol’ gun in my hand.

He said 'act your age
Act your age'.
Ain't it strange
How your body's a cage
When you act your age.

When I was wild and in my teens
I spent all my time tasting illicit things,
Smoking and drinking and being obscene,
When I was in my teens.

They said 'act your age
Act your age'.
Ain't it strange
How your body's a cage
When you act your age.

Now I'm old and grey
My children say to me (act your age, act your age)
‘No howling at the moon
Or drinking with the sea’. (act your age, act your age)
So I'm sailing by the stars
Barking oh blah dee (act your age, act your age)
With a tumbler of rye in hand.

They said 'act your age
Act your age'.
Ain't it strange
How your body's a cage
When you act your age.
