I’m Glad I’m Not Young Anymore (And Reprise) Lyrics by Alfred Drake

Gigi (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

[HONORÉ]
Poor boy, poor boy
Downhearted and depressed and in a spin
Poor boy, poor boy
Oh, youth can really do a fellow in
How lovely to sit here in the shade
With none of the woes of man and maid
I'm glad I'm not young anymore
The rivals that don't exist at all
The feeling you're only two feet tall
I'm glad that I'm not young anymore
No more confusion
No morning-after surprise
No self delusion
That when you're telling those lies
She isn't wise
And even if love comes through the door
The kind that goes on forevermore
Forevermore is shorter than before
Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore
[HONORÉ, spoken]
The tiny remark that tortures you
The fear that your friends won't like her too
[HONORÉ]
I'm glad that I'm not young anymore
The longing to end a stale affair
[HONORÉ, spoken]
Until you find out she doesn't care (Eh?)
I'm glad that I'm not young
[HONORÉ]
Anymore
No more frustration
No star-crossed lover am I
No aggravation
Just one reluctant reply
"Lady, goodbye!"
The fountain of youth is dull as paint
Methuselah is my patron saint
I've never been so comfortable before
Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore!
[Reprise.]
The worry if you're the best or worst
And then you find out that you're the first
All others but you she may enchant
You feel that you should, you do, you can't (Uh!)
No desperation
No midnight pacing of floors
What liberation
To know that child on all fours
Couldn't be yours
Too old for a wedding day in June
But not for a weekend honeymoon
What better life could heaven have in store?
Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore
