Whatcha' gonna' do when ya' ain't a kid no more
And whatcha' gonna' do when yer teenage years move on
Whatcha' gonna' do when Bandstand's gone
And yer feet can't fit the floor
I say, whatcha' gonna' do when ya' ain't a kid no more?
I see you dancin' on the TV screen
And hookin' it for all to see
I see you havin' a real good time
And thinkin' it will set you free
I used to hoof it with the best of the lot
But time caught up with me
I say, whatcha' gonna' do when your youth is a memory?
Whatcha' gonna' do when ya' ain't a kid no more
And whatcha' gonna' do when yer teenage years move on
Whatcha' gonna' do when Bandstand's gone
And yer feet can't fit the floor
I say, whatcha' gonna' do when ya' ain't a kid no more?
You think tomorrow is a time machine
And stayin' high holds the key
You've got today on a pedestal
And sundown is eternity
You can't remember that the sun comes up
And marches on faithfully
I say, whatcha' gonna' do when you're over the hill like me?
Whatcha' gonna' do when ya' ain't a kid no more
And whatcha' gonna' do when yer teenage years move on
Whatcha' gonna' do when Bandstand's gone
And yer feet can't fit the floor
I say, whatcha' gonna' do when ya' ain't a kid no more?
I say, whatcha' gonna' do when ya' ain't a kid no more?
