Golden years, gold whop, whop, whop
Golden years, gold whop, whop, whop
Golden years, gold whop, whop, whop

Don't let me hear you say 
Life's taking you nowhere, angel
(Come get up my baby)
Look at that sky, life's begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
(Come get up my baby)

There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop, whop, whop
(Come get up my baby)

Last night they loved you, 
Opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
(Come get up my baby)
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
(Come get up my baby)

I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
(Come get up my baby)

Some of these days, and it won't be long
Gonna drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car twenty foot long
Don't cry my sweet, don't break my heart
Doing all right, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day, I believe, oh lord
I believe all the way
(Come get up my baby)
Run for the shadows,run for the shadows
Run for the shadows, in these golden years

There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop, whop, whop
(Come get up my baby)

Don't let me hear you say 
Life's taking you nowhere, angel
(Come get up my baby)
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years

I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold whop, whop, whop [11 times]
