So here's three cheers thanks to family Who stayed with me Through thick and thin The only guy I knew who could fall up stairs I was so drunk I didn't care But now I just want to get back to Being the boy That I once knew Every sinner has a future and a saint a past I read that once On a sign somewhere But I'm thankful for who I am Grateful to Ma and Dad And two of my sisters always been before me Never done me wrong And I'm gonna hand it on While I'm still young Hand it on I'm gonna hand it on While I'm still young So here's three cheers thanks to my friends Who stuck with me Through thick and thin I did not deserve the skin I was in I'm asking you Please forgive I couldn't stand being 'round me How could you? I kept on talkin' talkin' talkin' talkin' talkin' talkin' I was not saying a thing But now I'm gonna hand it on While I'm still young Hand it on I'm gonna hand it on While I'm still young And I'm gonna hand it on While I'm still young Hand it on I'm gonna hand it on While I'm still young
