It's a shame you can't do what you used to do These days, you're on a lower rung You can't climb the ladder to clean the roof You're no longer bulletproof It's a shame you can't do what you used to do And it's a shame you can't drive a truck You can't pass the test, you're outta luck Your hearing's not so good Be careful cutting wood It's a shame you can't do what you used to do But you can give some good advice to a lad who wants to know Have a laugh about the crazy things you did When you were young and full of farts Breaking rules and breaking hearts It's a shame you can't do what you used to do And it's a shame you can't catch a woman's eye And, sure, you couldn't kid yourself and try But you're just made of glass She'll see right through and pass It's a shame you can't do what you used to do But you can give some good advice to a lad who wants to know Have a laugh about the crazy things you did When you were young and full of farts Breaking rules and breaking hearts It's a shame you can't do what you used to do It's a shame you can't do what you used to do It's a shame you can't do what you used to do
