This song is a warning to all
never to associate with the old man.
Well, an old man came courting me,
An old man came courting me,
An old man came courting me,
Remain mates when you're young,
Because he's got no falurum,
He's got no falurum, fa -li -lu -la -day
he's lost his ding -do -rum
Amazed when you're younger
he left me in the lurch I made
When you're young, wed an old man
Because he's got no falurum,
He's got no falurum, a little all day
he's lost his ding -do -rum
That means when you're younger
When we went to bed, me being young
Mates, when you're young,
Because he's got no floor,
He's got no floor, and a little leg
Hey, he's got no velourum,
he's lost his ding -do -rum
And that's when you're young,
So I threw me leg over him,
I flung me leg over him, he beat me on
I'm amazed when you're young,
Because he's got no falurum,
He's got no falurum, fa -li -lu -la -day
he's lost his ding -do -rum
I'm amazed when you're young,
When he went to sleep, me being young,
When he went to sleep out of bed,
I did creep into the arms
And I found his fallow rump a little Iurem,
I found his fallow rump a little all day,
and he got my ding -do -rum
So maids, when you're young,
