Reg Lindsay From Forty to Sixty Five Lyrics:
As I read the morning papers,
I look the want adds through,
I thought that I might try to find
Some honest work to do,
I think that I have never judged
The workin' life for me
But young men wanted for the job,
Is all that I could see.

Young men wanted, is all you hear today,
Young men wanted, the old man cast away,
I pray the Lord to help me,
In weariness to find
The missing link that lies
Between forty and sixty five.

[Yodel]

I may get the old age pension
If I'm sixty five,
But I've so many years to go,
How can I stay alive
Oh, when you reach the middle age,
Your useful days are through,
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/bwWw ]
With young men taking all the jobs,
There's nothing left to do.

Young men wanted, is all you hear today,
Young men wanted, the old man cast away,
I pray the Lord to help me,
In weariness to find
The missing link that lies
Between forty and sixty five.

[Yodel]

When this dreary life is ended,
And I am laid to rest,
My weary soul will take it like
The man that God will bless
Saint Peter's hand will welcome me
The law that I have died
And I won't have to wait outside
Until I'm sixty five

Young men wanted, is all you hear today,
Young men wanted, the old man cast away,
I pray the Lord to help me,
In weariness to find
The missing link that lies
Between forty and sixty five.
