They're Either Too Young Or Too Old Lyrics - Rosemary Clooney

They're either too young, or too old 

They're either too gray 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 

They're either too old or too young 

So, darling, you'll never get stung 

Tomorrow I'll go hiking with that Eagle Scout unless 

I get a call from grandpa for a snappy game of chess

I'll never, never fail ya 

While you are in Australia 

Or off among the Rooshians 

And flying over Egypt 

Your heart will never be 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 

They're either too bald or too bold 

I'm down to the wheelchair and bassinet 

My heart just refuses to get upset 

I simply can't compel it to 

With no Marine to tell it to 

Photos 

I'm either their first breath of spring 

Or else, I'm their last little fling 

I either get a fossil or an adolescent pup 

I either have to hold him off 

Or have to hold him up 

The battle is on, but the fortress will hold 

They're either too young or too old
