(Gouldman)

Gloria: Looking in the mirror last night,
My grey hair turned to black
Looking in the mirror last night
Pleasant memories came back
Why, I remember back when i was seventeen
And all the things i wanted to do
The world was new

Tulip: The world is for the young
C'mon, we're on our way
Its a wonderful place
What we done and what we're going to do
Then we'll have changed it's face

Mr Brown: Searching through some papers last night
A sweet scent filled the air
It came from the letter i found
And a lock of dark hair

It belonged to a girl who was in love with me
And she written that without me, she'd die
Mrs Brown: I wonder why?

Mrs Brown: Looking through an album last night
I came acrossed a snap
That showed a handsome youth
With a girl sitting on his lap

"Valentino?" i thought, with his sleeked black hair,
And Mary Pigford was on his knee
But it was me!

Mr & Mrs: The world is for the young
But they'll soon find out
When they come to explore,
The strange new lands of expirience
But we've been there before

Mr: Trying to recapture the past
Only makes me regret
The passing of an age and all the people that i've met

Gloria: A ride on a tram on the upper deck,
With a boy with a Fairbanks moustache
We were so rash

All: The world is for the young
It was always so

Mr, Mrs, Gloria: It's not ours anymore
But, they'll find out when they follow us
'cause we've been there before
