Excuse me shouting out like this,
And making all this noise!
I've finished up with college life;
Now, I'm one of the boys.
I mean to paint the town tonight,
And give each girl a wink;
For Britons never will be slaves;
So let your glasses clink!

CHORUS

I'm twenty-one today!
Twenty-one today!
I've got the key to the door,
Never been twenty-one before.
And pa says I can d as I like;
So shout, "Hip, hip, hooray!
He's a jolly good fellow,
Twenty-one today!"

I called into a waxwork show,
Where the figuresthey all stood;
I saw Queen Mary and the Shah,
And sweet Red Riding Hood.
I also saw the fat girl there,
And she cried in alarm,
"I'd love to kiss you baby face,"
I said: "Well there's no harm!"

CHORUS

I got my temper up today;
I smack'd a p'liceman's face;
Then he took me to Bow Street,
Where the Judge said, "What's the case?
What has this great big bully done?"
His face grew quite a ength.
I said, "I smack'd the p'licemans face,
I've overgrown my strength!"

CHORUS

I've had a gay time up to now;
I've been into the Cri;
I played a game of billiards.
To the marker, the, said I:
"How is the game? Please tell me sir!"
He said, "You're twenty three!"
I said, "I don't wish to be rude,
But if you'll pardon me,___

CHORUS

A girl stopped me in Leicester Square,
And cried: "I'm full of glee!
I'd love to marry you, young man,
But one thing's stopping me."
She said: "Why don't you grow a beard?"
I said: "May I be hung,
I wouldn't mind a fair moustache,
But, for whiskers, I'm too young!"

CHORUS
