Oh well a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days
I said a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days
Well you know in the old days when a young man was a strong man
All the people they stepped back when a young man walked by

But you know nowadays it's the old man who's got all the money
And the young man ain't got nothing in the world these days
I say they got nothing, nothing

Everybody everybody
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
In the old days everybody stepped back
When a young man walked, walked by
They stepped back
They stepped back
They stepped back

Nothing has got a young man
They ain't got nothing in the world these days
I say they got sweet
That's all
