Theyre Either Too Young Or Too Old lyrics

They're Either Too Young or Too Old
Tommy Dorsey
Words by Frank Loesser
and music by Arthur Schwartz.

Introduced by Bette Davis in the 1945 film
"Thank Your Lucky Stars."
Her interpretation was in an amusing manner with
many lyrics added to the
original. Nominated for an Academy Award in
1943.

You marched away and left this town
As empty as can be.
I
can't sit under the apple tree
With anyone else but me.
For there is no
secret lover
That the draft board didn't discover.

They're either too
young or too old
They're either too grey or too grassy green.
The pickings
are poor and the crop is lean.
What's good is in the army.
What's left
will never harm me.
I'm either their first breath of spring.
Or I'm their
last little fling.
I must confess to one romance,
I[m sure you will
allow.
He tries to serenade me,
But his voice is changing now.
I'm
finding it easy to stay good as gold.
They're either too young or too
old.
I'll never ever fail ya, when you are in Australia
And flying over
Egypt, your heart will never by gypped.
And when you get to India, I'll
still be what I've been to ya,
I've looked the field over, and lo and
behold!
They're either too young or too old.
