In the Times When I Was Young

when I was young, young, young,

I had more fun, fun, fun,

and I had done, done, done

a lot of things,

and I did run, run, run,

when it was rain, rain, rain,

when there was the sun, sun, sun,

I also had a gun, a toy gun

with which I hunted, too,

having that toy, toy, toy,

being a boy, boy, boy,

what could I do?

I read a lot, lot, lot,

I studied, too, too, too,

I hated plots, plots, plots...

I gathered thoughts, thoughts,

and, what else could I do?

I thought the world was nice

under the blue, blue skies,

I also hated lies,

and liked some cakes and pies,

I didn't wear ties,

I wanted to be wise

and I was gently nice-

I didn't know the mean

and didn't like the beans,

and I was very keen,

and also very lean,

when I was young and teen.

when I was young, young, young,

I liked to read and write,

I didn't like to fight,

I used to read at night,

I knew "what's wrong and right",

I liked the light and th' bright,

and I believed in good,

I didn't need much food

being in a good mood,

and I was never rude,

I liked the fields and woods,

I didn't wear hoods,

I had some friends, not dudes,

I wore sandals and boots

liking to experiment

I always said what I meant,

and always told the truth,

even when I did lose,

but I did know I could

learn many things,

if I learned,

and as it turned

I was right and only one advice-

don't pardon jerks, be wise!
