Lyrics

  1. When I was young I had lots of pep
    I could get around, I didn’t need no help
    But since I’m old and a-gettin’ gray
    The people look at me and say

Chorus
Too old, too old
He’s too old to cut the mustard anymore
He’s a-gettin’ too old, he’s done got too old
He’s too old to cut the mustard anymore

  1. I used to could jump just like a deer
    But now I need a new landing gear
    I used to could jump a picket fence
    But now I’m lucky if I jump an inch
  2. When I was young I had an automobile
    I’d scoot myself right under that wheel
    I had to fight the gals off with a stick
    But now they say, “Oh, he makes me sick”
