[00:00:32] Ow people gather round me

[00:00:34] It's whom it may concern

[00:00:36] I'm not trying to run your life

[00:00:38] But you're never too old to learn

[00:00:40] Stop worrying about your neighbors

[00:00:42] And the fancy things they got

[00:00:44] 'Cause if you do you'll find it sure

[00:00:46] You're gonna wind up on the spot

[00:01:18] Are trying to keep up too

[00:01:20] Remember that old saying
