Gloria: Looking in the mirror last night,<br />
My grey hair turned to black.<br />
Looking in the mirror last night<br />
Pleasant memories came back.<br />
Why, I remember back when i was seventeen<br />
And all the things i wanted to do<br />
The world was new.<br />
<br />
Tulip: The world is for the young<br />
C'mon, we're on our way.<br />
Its a wonderful place.<br />
What we done and what we're going to do.<br />
Then we'll have changed it's face.<br />
<br />
Mr Brown: Searching through some papers last night<br />
A sweet scent filled the air.<br />
It came from the letter i found<br />
And a lock of dark hair.<br />
<br />
It belonged to a girl who was in love with me.<br />
And she written that without me, she'd die.<br />
Mrs Brown: I wonder why?<br />
<br />
Mrs Brown: Looking through an album last night<br />
I came acrossed a snap.<br />
That showed a handsome youth<br />
With a girl sitting on his lap.<br />
<br />
"Valentino?" i thought, with his sleeked black hair,<br />
And Mary Pigford was on his knee.<br />
But it was me!<br />
<br />
Mr & Mrs: The world is for the young<br />
But they'll soon find out<br />
When they come to explore,<br />
The strange new lands of expirience.<br />
But we've been there before.<br />
<br />
Mr: Trying to recapture the past<br />
Only makes me regret.<br />
The passing of an age and all the people that i've met.<br />
<br />
Gloria: A ride on a tram on the upper deck,<br />
With a boy with a Fairbanks moustache.<br />
We were so rash.<br />
<br />
All: The world is for the young<br />
It was always so.<br />
<br />
Mr, Mrs, Gloria: It's not ours anymore<br />
But, they'll find out when they follow us.<br />
'cause we've been there before.
