[D] old, he's too old to cut the mustard [A] anymore.
He's getting [D] too old, he's done [G] got too old, he's [D] too old to cut [A] the mustard anymore.
When I was young I had a lot of pep, I could get around, [D] didn't need no help.
But now you're old [A] and getting gray, the people all look [D] at you and say,
Too old, [G] too old, he's [D] too old to cut the mustard [A] anymore.
He's getting [D] too old, he's done [G] got too old, he's too old to cut [A] the mustard [D] anymore.

[D] I used to jump [A] just like a deer, but now you need a [D] new landing gear.
I used to jump [A] a picket fence, but now you're lucky [D] if you jump an inch.
Too old, [G] too old, [D] he's too old to cut the mustard [A] anymore.
He's getting too old, he's done [G] got too old, [D] he's too old to [A] cut the mustard [D] anymore.

[D] When I was young I [A] had an automobile, now they push you around [D] in a chair with wheels.
Had to fight the gals [A] off with a stick, but now they say [D] he makes me sick.

[D] When I was young [A] and in my prime, the gals all used [D] to stand in line.
