If you drove a Studebaker <br />Recall Page Boy's hairy style <br />When the gals were still homemakers <br />You've been around a while <br /> <br />If you sat through silent movies <br />When admission was a dime <br />Thinking Clara Bow was groovy <br />You've been around some time <br /> <br />When mail call was your passion <br />'Cause G.I. Joe was you <br />If you lived on your K-Ration <br />You must know you're not quite new <br /> <br />If you danced with gals real close <br />And you stole a kiss or three <br />When the gals wore nylon hose <br />You're now a retiree <br /> <br />So, get it through your head <br />Don't let it drive you nuts <br />Your youth's been fully shed <br />No ands or ifs or buts<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-ve-been-around-awhile/
