                              Get Up and Go
                 Anon, music Copyright 1964 Pete Seeger

    C                G
    How do I know my youth is all spent?
       D                 G
    My get up and go has got up and went
           C                    G
    But in spite of it all, I'm able to grin
        D                                 G
    And think of the places my get up has been

G                  D
Old age is golden, so I've heard said
                            G
But sometimes I wonder as I crawl into bed
        C                     G
With my eyes on the table, my teeth in a cup
   A                                  D
My brain in a hard drive until I wake up

   G                       D
As sleep dims my vision, I say to myself
                                G
Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?
           C                       G
But though nations are warring and business is vexed
     D                                      G
I'll still stick around to see what happens next


    C                G
    How do I know my youth is all spent?
       D                 G
    My get up and go has got up and went
           C                    G
    But in spite of it all, I'm able to grin
        D                                 G
    And think of the places my get up has been

G                    D
When I was young, my slippers were red
                               G
I could kick up my heels right over my head
C                   G
When I was older my slippers were blue
    A                                  D
But still I could dance the whole night thru

G                D
Now I am old, my slippers are black
                          G
I huff to the store and I puff my way back
    C                  G
But never you laugh, I don't mind at all
    D                                  G
I'd rather be huffing than not puff at all


    C                G
    How do I know my youth is all spent?
       D                 G
    My get up and go has got up and went
           C                    G
    But in spite of it all, I'm able to grin
        D                                 G
    And think of the places my get up has been

  G                       D
I get up each morning and dust off my wits
                   G
Open the paper and read the obits
C                   G
If I'm not there, I know I'm not dead
     D                                   G
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed


    C                G
    How do I know my youth is all spent?
       D                 G
    My get up and go has got up and went
           C                    G
    But in spite of it all, I'm able to grin
        D                                 G
    And think of the places my get up has been


Original lines:


My ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup

My eyes on the table until I wake up
