a full-grown baby 

you're growin' so tired of growin' old 

and how old are ya'? 

and were you ever

for another day's passin' 

over your gray horizon  

 

today is the first day of the rest a' your life 

time goes away 

you've thought about checkin' out and don't deny it 

time goes away 

but if you really wanna can the music, 

you better sleep on it 

fill your life with the love or lose it, 

like a' rock 'n roll music 

no more agin' now 

today you're gonna help celebrate Blackie's birthday

and we'll sing happy birthday to you  

 

today is the first day of the rest a' your life 

time goes away 

you've thought about checkin' out and don't deny it, already tried it 

time won't go away, no it won't 

but if you really wanna can the music, 

you better sleep on it 

fill your life with the love or lose it, 

like a' rock 'n roll music 

no more agin' now for us
