[Chorus]
I went to the beach that makes you old

I went to the beach that makes you old

And now I am old

[Verse]
I packed a towel and a hot dog
And a book I planned to read
I had cartilage and collagen
And my original knees

The sky was blue and sunny
The waves were full of foam
I walked down to the water
Then shambled back so very slow

[Chorus]
I went to the beach that makes you old

I went to the beach that makes you old

And now I am old

[post-chorus]
[spoken] Buddy, I don’t know what else you want from me

[verse]
I was young when I left
I was old when I came home
I don’t know how much clearer
A story can be told

I went there
Now I’m old
It's not superstition
Just look at my folds

[Chorus]
I went to the beach that makes you old

I went to the beach that makes you old

And now I am old

[verse]
I was not old, then I went there
I went there, now I’m old
If you need peer-reviewed data
Get a load of these elbows

What about this aren’t you getting?
It’s the beach that makes you old
Yes, of course I now look wizened
That’s because I chose to go

[Spoken Interlude]
[band drops to light percussion and bass]
No, listen.
Before the beach—Not old.
After the beach—Old.
So you tell me!
You’re a smart guy.
You got another explanation?

[phonetic interlude]
Zah-ee, doo-bah, shem-ba-la
Doo-dah, vee-yah, sham-bah-dah
Zah-ee, doo-bah, shem-ba-la
Doo-da-veh-nah, sha-ba-da

[Verse]
hm—debate me all you want
Facts don’t care about your feelings
I was hip when I went in
I’ve come back a wrinkled being

Crazy? Yeah, sure, maybe
But explain this if you can:
I arrived a handsome idiot
And I left an ancient man

[Final Chorus]
I went to the beach that makes you old

I went to the beach that makes you old

And now I am old—

I went to the beach that makes you old

And now I am old
