Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra - Theyre Either Too Young Or Too Old lyrics

They're Either Too Young or Too Old Tommy Dorsey Words by Frank Loesser and music by Arthur Schwartz Introduced by Bette Davis in the 1945 film "Thank Your Lucky Stars." Her interpretation was in an amusing manner with many lyrics added to the Original. Nominated for an Academy Award in 1943 You marched away and left this town As empty as can be I can't sit under the apple tree With anyone else but me For there is no secret lover That the draft board didn't discover They're either too young or too old They're either too grey or too gra**y green The pickings are poor and the crop is lean What's good is in the army What's left will never harm me I'm either their first breath of spring Or I'm their last little fling I must confess to one romance I[m sure you will allow He tries to serenade me But his voice is changing now I'm finding it easy to stay good as gold They're either too young or too old I'll never ever fail ya, when you are in Australia And flying over Egypt, your heart will never by gypped And when you get to India, I'll still be what I've been to ya I've looked the field over, and lo and behold! They're either too young or too old
