| Said a small boy once asked, When will I grow up | |
| When will I see what grownups do see... | |
| In his fight to come of age, he would have to know the age | |
| To be recognized is when I'm not unmasked | |
| And mama used to say, Take your time, young man... | |
| Mama used to say, Don't you rush to get old... | |
| Mama used to say, Take it in your stride... | |
| Mama used to say, Live your life... | |
| As the years went rushin' by he would cut down on his age | |
| He would tell his girl of how it used to be | |
| How his mommy passed away, but these lines she would say | |
| And at the time he couldn't understand | |
| Mama used to say, Take your time, young man... | |
| Mama used to say, Don't you rush to get old... | |
| Mama used to say, Take it in your stride... | |
| Mama used to say, Live your life... | |
| You're young, so young, don't hold on back | |
| Do all you want to do | |
| Now is the time for you to stride | |
| For you to get better in what you are doin', oh | |
| Now is the time for you to stride | |
| For you to get better in what you are doin', oh | |
| A small boy once asked, When will I grow up | |
| When will I see what grownups do see... | |
| In his fight to come of age, he would have to know the age | |
| To be recognized is when I'm not unmasked | |
| And mama used to say, Take your time, young man... | |
| Mama used to say, Don't you rush to get old... | |
| Mama used to say, Take it in your stride... | |
| Mama used to say, Live your life, live your life, live your life, oh... | |
| Hey, mama used to say, Take your time, young man... | |
| Mama used to say, Don't you rush to get old... | |
| Mama used to say, Take it in your stride... | |
| Mama used to say, Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey... |
