Lyrics:

Here is a message...
It's all important...
Here comes the message...
It says,

Stay young, stay young...
Stay young, and keep in touch!

We're growing older...
Time waits for no man...
We must be bolder...
We've got to...

Stay young, stay young...
Stay young, and keep in touch!

Some people wear youth like a mask
Some people like you...
Some people don't care about that
Some people stay cool...
Some people like you...

Here is a warning...
Stop, look and listen...
This is your mission...
You've got to,

Stay young, stay young...
Stay young, and keep in touch!

The styles are changing...
It's so exciting...
And so inviting...
For you to,

Stay young, stay young...
Stay young, and keep in touch!
