(Woooooo! Baby, yea)
(Come on, alright)

You wanna have fun, you wanna just run
You wanna do a lot of things that older people never do
Gotta give up (give up), is that what they say?
Well, don't believe a word of it and do it my way (yea-ea-ea, ea-ea-ea-eah)

Come on, come on my see-saw, Granpa  (come on, come on, come on, yeah, come on)
And I gotta grow older, when you will stay young  (come on, come on, come on, come on)
Come on, come on my see-saw, Granpa  (come on, yeah, come on, yeah, come on, yeah, come on, yeah)
We gotta be bolder, their song has been sung  (come on, yeah, come on, yeah)

(Yeaaaaaaaah)
You wanna just move, you wanna just groove
You wanna do a lot of things that older people never do
You gotta give up, is that what they say?
Well, don't believe a word of it and do it my way

Baby, alright (wooo, yeah)
Come on, come on my see-saw, Granpa  (come on, come on, come on, come on)
And I want to grow older, when you will stay young (come on, come on, come on, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Come on, come on my see-saw, Granpa  (shine on, right on, shine on, shine on)
I said, we gotta be bolder, their song has been sung  (right on, right on, shine on)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon (woooooo!)

[guitar solo]

Awwww (1, 2, 3, 4), come on, come on my see-saw, Granpa  (come on, come on, come on, come on)
And I want to grow older, when you will stay young  (come on, come on, come on, come on)
Come on, come on my see-saw, Granpa (come on, come see-saw, Granpa, come on, come see-saw Granpa)
I said you gotta be bolder, their song has been sung (come on, get on my see-saw, Granpa)
Come (wooooh!, woah, woah, woah, yeah!)

C'mon, c'mon, come on my see-saw, Granpa (come on, get on my see-saw, Granpa)
And I want to grow older, when you will stay young (come on, get on my see-saw, Granpa, come on, get on my see-saw, Granpa)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Come on my see-saw, Granpa (come on, get on my see-saw, Granpa, come on)
