YOUNG MAN, IF I HAD YOUR TIME


Young man, if I had your time . .

I'd do it all again.

Young man, if I had your time . .

I'd learn to rhyme
At the age of ten.

Young man, if I had your time . .

I'd learn Ancient Greek
And Latin, too
And converse casually
In French.

Young man, if I had your time . .

Young Man
If I had your time
I'd learn to dance
And play piano
And write poetry
In France.

Young man, if I had your time . .

I'd do it all again
As it is
I stumble through . .

Like a boy of ten.
