NEVER BEEN OLD BEFORE

INTRO

if you say you’re bored
then you’re not paying attention

VERSE1

Hey kid, look at this!
Ya ever seen one of these before?
They’re stoopid rare, almost extinct
Or they don’t make ‘em anymore

Maybe you read about it, heard about it?
Saw it on a TV show?
You can spend a lifetime lookin’ for ONE
Then it’s gone before you know

If I seem a little pushy
More rushed than I should be
[it’s] ‘cause what I do with you for the first time
could be the last time for me…
last time for me… [HARMONY]

INTRO REPRISE

if you say you’re bored….

VERSE2

I don’t know how to do this
I’ve never been old before
But when I show you something cool
Do you get how lucky we are?

If I go a little nutz
Tryin’ to pass on what I know
Even if it’s something I’ve done a thousand times
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE YOU GET IT!

If I seem a little pushy
More rushed than I should be
[it’s] ‘cause what I do with you for the first time
could be the last time for me…

last time for me… [HARMONY] X 3


Your just too young to know this,
But time roars by so fast
[So] If I catch you being blasé
I’m gonna kick your ass

IF YOU SAY YOU’RE BORED
THEN YOU’RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION
IF YOU SAY YOU’RE BORED
YOU’RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION

That’s a real...T-Rex bone
Michaelangelo carved this statue
From a single…block of stone

That’s the only building left
From the 1939… World’s Fair

Can you believe the Wright Bros.

We’re gonna sit here under the Eiffel Tower
And just look at it!

G

Taste this ham from Barcelona
This is Ringo’s…Ludwig kit
This is metric, that’s standard
So no…they won’t fit.

Gonna teach ya how to change a tire.
