Said a [A]small boy once

  And he's [A]bout to come his age
he will [B]act another a[E]ge

quite another [B]mess[E]
And mama used to [A]say:
"Take your time young [B]man"[E]
mama used to [A]say

And mama used to [A]say:

"Take it in your [B]stride[E]"
And mama used to [A]say:
"Live your [B]lif[E]e"

As the [A]years where rushing by
he will [B]cut down on his [E]age,
he will [A]tell his girl of how it used to [B]be. [E]

And mama used  to [A]say
"Don't you rush to get [B]old[E]
And mama used to [A]say:
"Take it in your [B]str[E]ide"
And mama used to [A]say:
"Live your life[B]" [E]

Now is the time for you to [B]str[E]ive,
For [A]you to get better in [B]what you are [E]doing!
As a s[A]mall boy once asked,
"When will[B] I grow [E]up?"
When will [A]I see what grownups do [B]se[E]e?"
At a [A]time to come to come of age
he will [B]act another [E]age,
To be r[A]econized is quite another m[B]ess[E]!
