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 really 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 need one thing But together, boy, have we got something Youth rebels, age preserves And they both get on each other's nerves But it cannot be tonight When there's something big That we've got 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 are wearing Or transistor radios blaring And what is the fun of the stripped down motor bike We don't understand the older generation All they seem to do is sit around and fuss They don't try to dig our lingo They just want TV and bingo And 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 'round You may rank, age may roar There's a fact that no one can ignore When the world needs putting right It takes youth and experience To really win the fight Walking alone, you might defeat us But together and no power can beat us You rebels, age preserves And they both get on each other's nerves But it cannot be tonight When there's something big That you've got to do It takes more than me, it takes more than you It takes youth and experience To rid the world of trouble and strife And make way for a wonderful life
