How old are you,
tell me what's your story?
How old are you,
tell me when did you start?
Are you in it for the money
or the glory?
Do you still have the brains,
the guts and the heart?
When you were younger
you were so much better
When you were younger
you were really hot
Hey, but now you're much older
and you're colder than ever
Why don't you hang it up,
why won't you stop?
How old are you?
How about some facts and figures?
How old are you?
about a little background?
Isn't it you call black people
niggers?
How come you're always
clowning around?
How come you don't try
to write a novel?
How come you don't try
to write a play?
Yeah, isn't it time you died or retired?
Why the hell won't you just go away?
How old are you?
Are you crazy?
How old are you?
Are you really a drunk?
Are you bitter, have you grown lazy,
were you embarrassed about dead scum?
How come you didn't
get big like Bob Dylan?
How come you didn't
get big like Springsteen?
Were you unable
or were you unwilling?
Tell us the truth about it,
come on, come clean
How old are you?
How old are you?
How old are you?
How old?
When you were younger
you were so much better
When you were younger
you were really hot
Every night you're much older
and you're colder than ever
Why don't you hang it up,
why won't you stop?
How old are you?
Who do you live with?
How old are you?
Who was your wife?
Is it true that you have children?
I guess that means that
you got a sex life
Well that's about all,
I seem to run out of questions
There's only a few and they're
always the same
But we got to sell paper
and tickets and records
So we can keep on playing
this children's game
How old are you?
How old are you?
Come on, baby!
Whoa!
