Verse 1
G 
D 
G 
C 
How do I know my
G 
youth is all spent?
D 
My get -up and go has
G 
gone up and went,
C 
but in spite of it all
G 
I'm able to grin
D 
and think of the places
G 
my get -up has been.
D 
Old age is golden,
G 
D 
so I've heard it said,
but sometimes I wonder
G 
as I crawl into bed,
C 
With my teeth in the cup
G 
and my wig in a draw
D 
A 
And I  hope my glass eye
D 
doesn't roll on the floor
G 
As sleep dims my vision,
D 
I say to myself
Is there anything more I
G 
D 
should put on the shelf?
G 
C 
First Carter, now Reagan,
G 
C 
G 
I  surely am vexed
D 
But I'll still stick around
G 
to see what happens next
C 
How do I know
G 
my youth is all spent?
D 
G 
My get up and go has got up and went
C 
G 
But in spite of it all I'm able to grin
D 
And think of the places my
G 
get up has been
D 
G 
D 
When I  was young my slippers were red
I could kick up my heels
G 
right over my head
C 
Then I  grew older,
G 
my slippers were blue,
D 
A 
but still I could dance the
D 
whole night through.
G 
D 
Now I am old and my slippers are black,
G 
I huff to the store and I puff my way back.
C 
G 
But never you laugh, I don't mind at all,
D 
G 
I'd rather be huffin' than not puff at all.
C 
Well, how do I know
G 
my youth is all spent?
D 
G 
My get -up -and -go has got up and went
C 
G 
But in spite of it all, I'm able to grin
D 
G 
And think of the places my get -up has been
D 
I get up each morning
and dust off my wits
G 
Open the paper and read the old bits
C 
G 
And if I'm not there I know I'm not dead
D 
so I eat a good breakfast
G 
C 
G 
and roll back
D 
G 
C

D 
G
