Drive off to unknown places
Far from familiar faces
Just relax for a while
That's best by a mile

Drive off to unknown places
Far from familiar faces
Just relax for a while

Drive off into unknown places
Far from familiar faces

Best to enjoy life while you can
Depressing ideas you should ban
Stop watching the news
Just gives you the blues,
Or travel in a camper van.

It's pointless to wonder why
Staying young is pie in the sky
Each day as it comes
We hope for life's suns
Take life as it comes, by and by

Best to enjoy life while you can

It's pointless to wonder why.
Staying young is pie in the sky!
Each day as it comes
We hope for life's suns

It's pointless to wonder why.
Staying young is pie in the sky!
Each day as it comes

It's pointless to wonder why.
Staying young is pie in the sky!

But the years go by very fast
Before too long my youth was past
Why is life so short?
That's my constant thought
Like everything else, nothing lasts

It's pointless to wonder why

But the years go by very fast
Before too long my youth was past
Why is life so short?
That’s my constant thought

But the years go by very fast
Before too long my youth was past
Why is life so short?

But the years go by very fast
Before too long my youth was past

When I was a teen I was wild
With crazy excitement beguiled
The whole world was mine
The outlook was fine,
I had so much fun as a child!

But the years go by very fast

When I was a teen I was wild
With crazy excitement beguiled
The whole world was mine
The outlook was fine,

When I was a teen I was wild
With crazy excitement beguiled
The whole world was mine

When I was a teen I was wild
With crazy excitement beguiled

When I was a teen I was wild

And play quiet games, it would seem
We need to sit down
In a warm dressing gown
And drink a hot chocolate with cream

At our age, we can only dream
And play quiet games, it would seem
We need a sit down
In a warm dressing gown

At our age, we can only dream
And play quiet games, it would seem
We need a sit down

At our age , we can only dream
And play quiet games, it would seem.

Monster trucks are the toy of the day
Best keep your feet out of the way
Or it's whoosh and wham
Into legs they slam
And there’s not a lot you can say

At our age , we can only dream
