Given the success of the lyric-linking thread, here's a variation: Can people think of songs that include lyrics about being specific ages? It would be helpful to post them in chronological order, and I'd love to begin, but the youngest age I can think of mentioned in a song is 4. So -- does anyone have songs that make reference to being 1, 2 or 3 to get this started?

You want the youngest ages first, eh? Let's start with "The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane" (By Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett recorded by the Ames Brothers, 1954): The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane has hit the town like a bomb The backfence gossip ain't been so good since Mabel ran off with Tom. Our town was peaceful and quiet before she came on the scene The lady has started a riot, disturbin' the suburban routine! Chorus:The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane Has the town in a whirl! The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane, Me oh my oh what a girl. Bom-biddy-bom-bom-bom, bom
Bom-biddy-bom-bom-bomYou should see how she carries on with her admirers galore She must be giving them quite a thrill the way they flock to her door She throws those come-hither glances at every Tom, Dick, and Joe When offered some liquid refreshment, the lady never never says "No." ChorusBom-biddy-bom-etc-modulate up a half-stepThe things they're trying to pin on her won't hold much water, I'm sure. Beneath the powder and fancy lace there beats a heart sweet and pure She just needs someone to change her, and she'll be sweet as can be If you're in the neighborhood, Stranger, you're welcome to drop in and see! ChorusThe Naughty Lady of Shady Lane, So delightful to hold, The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane She's delectable, quite respectable,... ...and she's only nine days old!

From the Billy Elliot soundtrack:
T-Rex - Cosmic Dancer
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was aaah
I danced myself right out the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon
I danced myself right out the womb
I was dancing when I was eight
Is it strange to dance so late
I danced myself into the tomb
Is it strange to dance so soon
I danced myself into the tomb
Is it wrong to understand
The fear that dwells inside a man
What's it like to be a loon
I liken it to a balloon
I danced myself out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon
I danced myself into the tomb
But when again once more
I danced myself out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon
I danced myself out of the womb.

How about an 'embryonic' reference???
From Ray Boltz "What Was I Supposed To Be?"
I wonder if up in Heaven
Do you suppose we'll see
Little children ask Him
What was I supposed to be
What was I supposed to be
What were my eyes supposed to see
Why did I taste of death
Before I even drew a breath
Or laid my head at my mother's breast
to sleep
Oh Jesus
What was I supposed to be
Surely there are some that would even pre-date this one.....some cheesy lyrics about 'a gleam in daddy's eye' or something similar.

I don't know what went wrong, I couldn't understand
You grew up much too fast for me
I wish it was before, like back when you were 4
I held you on my knees and I told you lots of pretty things
the title escapes me (I'll add it tomorrow, after I check my LP at home tonight), but it's by the Boomtown Rats

You come on like a dream
Peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
You're 16
You're beautiful
And you're mine.
-- You're Sixteen, Ringo Starr
I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen,
And I'll do anything
For little run away child
-- Sweet Sixteen, Billy Idol
You're only sixteen
But you're my teenage queen
Oh, you're the prettiest, the loveliest girl I've ever seen
-- Sixteen Candles, The Crests
Wells she was just 17,
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
-- Saw Her Standing There, The Beatles
I learned the truth at 17
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
-- At Seventeen, Janis Ian
Lines form on my face and hands
Lines form from the ups and down
I'm in the middle without any plans
I'm a boy and I'm a man
I'm eighteen and I don't know what I want
Eighteen, I just don't know what I want
-- I'm Eighteen, Alice Cooper

When first I saw the love-light in your eyes,
I dreamed the world held not but joy for me.
And even though we drifted far apart,
I never dream but what I dream of thee.
I love you as I never loved before,
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me or my dream of love is o’r,
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.
I love you as I never loved before,
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me or my dream of love is o’r . . .
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.
When You Were Sweet Sixteen

When I was seventeen,
It was a very good year.
It was a very good year
For small town girls
And soft summer nights.
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green.
When I was seventeen ...
When I was twenty-one,
It was a very good year.
It was a very good year
For city girls
Who lived up the stair.
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone,
When I was twenty-one ...
Then I was thirty-five,
It was a very good year.
It was a very good year
For blue-blooded girls
Of independent means,
We'd ride in limousines,
Their chauffeurs would drive.
When I was thirty-five ...
But now the days grow short,
I'm in the autumn of the year.
And now I think of my life
As vintage wine
From fine old kegs,
From the brim to the dregs,
And it poured sweet and clear.
It was a very good year ...
It was a mess of good years ...
It Was A Very Good Year, popularized by Frank Sinatra

Janis Ian
At Seventeen
I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired.
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth.
And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say come dance with me
and murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems
At seventeen.
A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
Whose name I never could pronounce
said, Pity please the ones who serve
They only get what they deserve.
The rich relationed hometown queen
Married into what she needs
A guarantee of company
And haven for the elderly.
Remember those who win the game
Lose the love they sought to gain
In debentures of quality
And dubious integrity.
Their small town eyes will gape at you
in dull surprise when payment due
Exceeds accounts received
At seventeen.
To those of us who know the pain
Of valentines that never came,
And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball.
It was long ago and far away
The world was younger than today
And dreams were all they gave for free
To ugly duckling girls like me.
We all play the game and when we dare
To cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown
That call and say, come dance with me
and murmur vague obscenities
At ugly girls like me
At seventeen.
© 1970 by Janis Ian

At seventeen he falls in love quite madly with eyes of tender blue;
At twenty-four he gets it rather badly with eyes of a different hue;
At thirty-five you'll see him flirting sadly with two or three, or more;
When he fancies he is past love,
It is then he meets his last love,
And he loves her as he's never lov'd before.
"A bachelor gay" from The maid of the mountains;
words by F Clifford Harris and Valentine,
music by Jas W Tate (1917)

I am 16, going on 17 -- from The Sound of Music
I was 21 years when I wrote this song
I'm 22 now but I won't be for long
People ask me when will I grow up to be a man
Girls I knew in school are already pushing prams
"New England", Billy Bragg
He had a stroke at the age of 24
It could have been a brilliant career
"It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career"
Belle & Sebastian (and I'm going to see them tonight - yay!)

I'm thinking this'll be easier if we are just approximately chronological - say, go by decades instead of years.

Thank to AnnaS, we have age 6 (between the two of us, one good brain!)
MEMPHIS TENNESSEE
Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She did not leave her number but I know the place to call
The phone boy took the message and he wrote it on the wall
I said help me information get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
About a half a mile from the Mississipi bridge
Oh help me information, more than this I cannot add
Only that I love Marie and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart now 'cause her momma did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
I said help me information, more than this I cannot add
Only that I miss Marie and all the fun we had
But she was pulled apart from me 'cause her momma did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
Last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickl'd from her eye
Marie is only six years old, so information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
I said try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
Oh won't you put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
(Berry)
PS-- maybe the age in the header? and some of us could go back and edit headers? then even if not in order.. we could find an age?

Is there really nothing for the ages between 4 and 17??? ~ Annastrophic
Yes!. Great Gooblely-wooblebly, just where were you people in 1955?
I'M A MAN - Do Diddley
Now when I was a little boy,
At the age of five,
I had somethin' in my pocket,
Keep a lot of folks alive.
Now I'm a man,
Made twenty-one,
You know baby,
We can have a lot of fun.
I'm a man,
I spell M-A-N...man.
All you pretty women,
Stand in line,
I can make love to you baby,
In an hour's time.
I'm a man,
I spell M-A-N...man.
I goin' back down,
To Kansas to
Bring back the second cousin,
Little John the conqueroo.
I'm a man,
I spell M-A-N...man.
The line I shoot,
Will never miss,
The way I make love to 'em,
They can't resist.
I'm a man,
I spell M-A-N...man.
Thank you Bo Diddley, that was nice and I'm sure you are. ~ mw.

the age is only in the title in this song but it is a good song
Won't you let me walk you home from school?
Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
Maybe Friday I can get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you...
Won't you tell your dad to get off my back
Tell him what we said 'bout "Paint It Black"
Rock and roll is here to stay
Come inside it's okay
And I'll shake you
Won't you tell me what you're dreaming of
Would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's over let me know
If it's "no" then I can go
I won't make you
"Thirteen" by Alex Chilton, performed by Big Star

When I Grow Up To BE a Man by the Beach Boys
When I grow up to be a man
Will I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid?
Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn't done what I did?
Will I joke around and still dig those sounds
When I grow up to be a man?
Will I look for the same things in a woman that I dig in a girl?
(fourteen fifteen)
Will I settle down fast or will I first wanna travel the world?
(sixteen seventeen)
Now I'm young and free, but how will it be
When I grow up to be a man?
Oooooo Ooooooo Oooooooo
Will my kids be proud or think their old man is really a square?
(eighteen nineteen)
When they're out having fun yeah, will I still wanna have my share?
(twenty twenty-one)
Will I love my wife for the rest of my life
When I grow up to be a man?
What will I be when I grow up to be a man?
(twenty-two twenty-three)
Won't last forever
(twenty-four twenty-five)
It's kind of sad
(twenty-six twenty-seven)
Won't last forever
(twenty-eight twenty-nine)
It's kind of sad
(thirty thirty-one)
Won't last forever
(thirty-two . . .)

I know there is more to this but I can't remember it all.
Dad sang it to me and I sang it to my daughter.
I have no idea who wrote it.
Where are you going my little one, little one,
Where are you going my babe, my own,
Little dirndles and petticoats, where have you gone,
Turn around and your 2, turn around and your 4, turn
around and your a young girl going out of my door.
(I remembered some more...)
Where are you going my little one, little one,
Where are you going my babe, my own,
Turn around and you're tiny, turn around and you're grown,
turn around and you're a young wife with babe's of you're own.
And somebody much younger will have to help me with this one.
I'm 18 and I like it, love it. (Mick Jagger????)

it may have had a life as a song... but i remember it from a Kodak commercial.. early 1960'? or so..
another 'song' that started it life as a commercial is Four Green Fields written for Aer Lingus airlines. it was an imediate hit, and people swear they learned it as a child, and it an old, old song. nonsense. Tommy Makem wrote it in the 1970'S!(and has the copywrite and royalties to prove it.

Not that I approve of this one, but

For fate to turn the light on
Your life little girl is an empty page
That men will want to write on

You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware...be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
Offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you to face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken
You'll need someone older and wiser
Telling you what to do,
I am seventeen going on eighteen
I'll take care of you!
Liesel
I am sixteen going seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe
I am sixteen going seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those?
Totally unprepared am I to face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do,
You are seventeen going on eighteen
I'll depend on you!

At the age of 37,
She realised she'd never drive
Through Paris in a sportscar with the warm wind in her hair
So she let the phone keep ringing
As she lay there, softly singing
Little nursery rhymes she had memorized in her daddy's easy chair
Title???? Marianne Faithful sang it
(uh-oh -- I'm 37 - does that mean 'bye-bye dreams'?)

Helen,
I remember that the commercial was taken from the song. It had to be because dad sang it to me before the commercial came out and he knew more verses.

Lather was thirty years old today,
They took away all of his toys.
His mother sent newspaper clippings to him,
About his old friends who'd stopped being boys.
There was Harwitz E. Green, just turned thirty-three,
His leather chair waits at the bank.
And Sergent Dow Jones, twenty-seven years old,
Commanding his very own tank.
Lather (Grace Slick) on Crown of Creation by Jefferson Airplane (1968)

Thirteen years old, sweet as rose
Every petal of her wafer thin
Love will make you mine
Creep up from behind
Get you jumping out of your skin
Angel...it's sink or swim

You thought you had found yourself a good girl,
One who would love you and give you the world.
Then you find, babe, that you've been misused,
Come to me, honey, I'll do what you choose.
(I want you to) tell mama
All about it.
Well, tell mama
What you need
Tell your mama, babe,
What you want.
Tell your mama, babe.
Whoa! an' I'll make everything alright.
...
You already know what you need, man.
You already know what you're looking for,
Man, i found out out at fourteen years old
And I been lookin' for it every since, too, man.
-- Tell Mama by Janis Joplin

Ya I can see that you're just fifteen years old
But I don't want your I.D.
Ya I can see that you're so far from home
This ain't no hanging matter,
No it ain't no capital crime
-- Stray Cat Blues; Rolling Stones

John Henry was a little boy,
'Bigger than the palm of your hand,
'Time that boy, he was nine years old
Driving spikes like a man
Driving spikes like a man.
John Henry was a little boy,
Sitting on his mammy's knee,
He picked up a hammer and a little bit of steel:
"Hammer's gonna be the death of me,
Hammer's gonna be the death of me."

At the far end of the scale:
It ain’t necessarily so
It ain’t necessarily so
De t’ings dat yo li’ble
To read in de Bible
It ain’t necessarily so
Methus’lah lived nine hundred years
Methus’lah lived nine hundred years
But who calls dat livin’
When no gal’ll give in
To no man what’s nine hundred years
I’m preachin’ dis sermon to show
It ain’t nessa, ain’t nessa
It ain’t necessarily so!
-- It Ain't Necessarily So; George & Ira Gershwin, from Porgy & Bess

oops! after being publicly corrected, i guess i should go back and delete my post..
or maybe-- i could reluctantly admit..
yeah, i guess for some people, a song written in the 1970's, could have been learned in childhood, and be thought an old song...
or i could just let it pass..
i could be wrong in making the comment, and Max could be wrong to nit pic, and Maveric could be wrong to join the battle.. or it could just be fun, and and i can be somewhat right (since the comments were made in the late 1970's, by adults, the four green fields was an old song) and max is right too, (but are we doing letting young whipper-snappers like him post?) and Mav could be right.. and no ones feelings got hurt, because we are adults, and behave like adults, and not like spoiled children, who, make problems for everyone..
no one told Silk Muse to remove her post... and AnnaS's post to my ear, sounded more like some one stunned that they missed the train..
rather than a complaint or being critical, she was a deer caught in the headlights saying What are those interesting liSMASH!
hey, but i could be wrong about this too! but what harm does it do to give AnnaS the benifit of the doubt? if she continued to complain, and RANT, again and again, and to make leading statements, and inuendo (posting with no comment-- such B.S!) then, maybe we could say, hey AnnaS, give it a rest!
but somehow, AnnaS, (and one or two others) are expected to be perfect, and never, ever post a statement that has the least bit of ambiguity.. because if they don't, one or two people will say-- Oh, look-- if you read it upside down, backwards, and inverted, it could be construed to mean something else!
