[Verse 1: Rick Davies]
Give it a whirl, give it a try
Why don't you sleep out, start living high?
You're on your own; you make your bed
No time for wasting, just look ahead
[Chorus: Rick Davies]
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He's got a reputation that he don't look back
Your poppa don't mind at all
[Verse 2: Rick Davies]
You're getting old, it's getting late
It's soon tomorrow, so celebrate
Bring it out and go to town
Before you're thinkin' of settling down
[Chorus: Rick Davies]
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He don't believe in Heaven like a good man should
Your poppa don't mind at all
[Verse 3: Rick Davies]
Finding out is half the fun
And when you find out, don't try to run
And if you know, then you've begun
But if you don't know, it's still to come
[Chorus: Rick Davies]
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He talks about his women and his old school tie
Your poppa don't mind at all
[Outro: Rick Davies]
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He don't believe in Heaven like a good man should
Your poppa don't mind at all
Your poppa don't mind at all
Your poppa don't mind at all
