When we were young
We looked at all the older kids we knew
And didn't they seem lucky
They could do so much we couldn't do
But now that we're the older ones
We realize it's true
That growing up won't set you free
'Cause now there are grown-up rules

Chorus:
Enjoy the year you're living
Every year's a special one
And though you've got to play by rules
You can still have lots of fun

Now that we are the older ones
And so are teachers at different schools
We both know that growing up won't set you free
'Cause now there are grown-up rules

Repeat Chorus

Let's enjoy the year we're living
Every year's a special one
And though we've got to play by rules
We can still have lots of fun
We can still have lots of fun
