Youth and Experience Songtext
von Cliff Richard & The Shadows

Look at you
Look at me
Yep, it′s true we never can agree
But when things need doing well
It takes youth and experience to ring the bell

You're so wild oh, you′re so square
You're a child, you're getting silver hair
But when something′s to be done
It takes youth and experience to really fire the gun

All by ourselves we don′t mean one thing
But together boy, have we got something
Youth rebels, age with results
And they both get on each other's nerves
But it cannot be denied
When there′s something big that we've go to do
It takes more than me
It takes more than you
It takes youth and experience marching side by side


(We don′t understand the younger generation
We don't understand the hairstyles they like
Or the clothes that they′re all wearin'
They want consistently loose and dreary
And what is the trouble of the sit-down mode of fight)

(We don't understand the older generation
All they seem to do is sit around and fuss
They don′t try to ding-a-ling
And may for once he be in Bingo
We don′t understand them not understanding us)

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
The truth is simple but profound
It takes all kinds of people working together
To make this old world go around

Youth may range, age may raw
But the fact that no-one can be in doubt
When the world needs put in right
Walking alone you might defeat us
But together as no power can beat us


Youth rebels, age with results
And they both get on each other's nerves
But it cannot be denied
When there′s something big that we've go to do
It takes more than me
It takes more than you
It takes youth and experience
To rid the world of trouble aside
And make way for a wonderful life.
