lyrics

As soon as they snap back from that frist slap on the ass
These young knuckleheads think they're miles a heado ftheir dads
And as soon as they're all losing their hair or going gray
Old men start to shout for these punks to get out of their way
Well, I'd like ot wiegh in on the question
From my middle age to those just mentioned

Age has no bearing on the matter
When you're an ass, you're an ass
At twenty-one or as a grandpa
When you're an ass, you're an ass
I'd ask you please cast no aspersions
Going up or over the hill
Young dumb-ass as fresh as a daisy
Old ass who's been through the mill
Young dumb-ass as fresh as a daisy
Old ass who's been through the mill

All you innocent young aspiring assholes to be
Take your old men for the asses you'll never be
You old asinine jackasses as blind as you're sure
That these young asses for the asses you never were
I ask you, ponder this suggestion
Just one middle-aged view of the question

Age has no bearing on the matter
When you're an ass, you're an ass
At twenty-one or as a grandpa
When you're an ass, you're an ass
I'd ask you please cast no aspersions
Going up or over the hill
Young dumb-ass as fresh as a daisy
Old ass who's been through the mill
Young dumb-ass as fresh as a daisy
Old ass who's been through the mill
