Give the Youngsters a Chance - Mighty Sparrow

What a big disgrace and a burning shame

But I don’t know who to blame

It’s a big disgrace and a burning shame

I don’t know who to blame

These amount of old woman in the night club

Hustling for a bob

Stand in the way of a younger girl

But it’s time they retire, they too old

Caroline and Josephine, making more than fifty

And I’m sure without any doubt, they could be meh granny

Still they walking 'bout at night

With they face like Jack Palance

Go to France!

Step aside and give the youngsters a chance

Oh I’m looking for youth, not experience

I can remembr last year Carnival

In front the cathedral

Tanti Mildred stand up, cool as ever

I thought she was a beggar

So I give a quarter to Mildred

Saying «Mama, buy some bread»

She turn around and put she han' on she waist

And she cuss me upsided down in the place

If you see the woman, brother, she more than sixty

And I’m sure without any doubt, she could be meh granny

Still she walking 'bout at night

With her face like Jack Palance

Go to France!

Step aside and give the Sparrow a chance

I’m looking for youth, not experience

Drinking in the night club with me bosom friend

Who come down to spend the weekend

I look back, who you think I see?

One of my family

«Good Heavens,» I shout, «Mama Jacob

What the France you doing in the night club?»

Same time the rock and roll start to play

She haul on to a sailor and break away

If you see the woman, brother, she more than fifty

And I’m sure without any doubt, she could be meh granny

Still she walking 'bout at night

With she face like Jack Palance

Go to France!

Stand aside and give your daughters a chance

I’m looking for youth, not experience
