Alan Jay Lerner - Im Glad Im Not Young Anymore Lyrics

[MAMITA]
Poor girl, poor girl
Downhearted and depressed and in a spin

[HONORÉ]
Poor boy, poor boy
Oh, youth can really do a fellow in

How lovely to sit here in the shade
With none of the woes of man and maid
I'm glad I'm not young anymore
The rivals that don't exist at all

[MAMITA]
The feeling you're only two feet tall

[MAMITA & HONORÉ]
I'm glad that I'm not young anymore

[HONORÉ]
No more confusion
No morning-after surprise
No self delusion
That when you're telling those lies

[MAMITA]
She isn't wise
The tiny remark that tortures you
[HONORÉ]
The fear that your friends won't like her too

[MAMITA & HONORÉ]
I'm glad that I'm not young anymore

[MAMITA]
The longing to end a stale affair
Until you find out he doesn't care

[MAMITA & HONORÉ]
I'm glad that I'm not young anymore

[HONORÉ]
No more frustration
No star-crossed lover am I

[MAMITA & HONORÉ]
No aggravation

[MAMITA]
Just one reluctant reply
"Thank you, goodbye"

[Dance break.]
[HONORÉ]
And even if love comes through the door
The kind that goes on forevermore

[MAMITA]
Forevermore is shorter than before

[MAMITA & HONORÉ]
Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore

[HONORÉ]
The fountain of youth is dull as paint

[MAMITA]
Methuselah is my patron saint

[MAMITA & HONORÉ]
I've never been so comfortable before
Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore!
