[Pete Townshend]
Uh... we'd like to carry on now, and play a song originally recorded by Mose Allison, who's really a jazz musician, and I did read something on one of his record covers which said he was a "jazz sage." And, uh, quite what that means, I don't know, but, uh—
[Keith Moon]
Just play the tune
[Pete Townshend]
(laughing) And, anyway, we've picked up quite a number of his songs, "Eyesight To The Blind," which is on the Tommy album, we picked up from him, and also this song, which I think has got to be one of his best. It's one of his own compositions, which he wrote when he was about forty—

[Pete Townshend]

[Crowd cheering][Verse 1]
Well a young man
Ain't got nothin' in the world these days
I said a young man
Ain't got nothin' in the world these days
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
Well, you know in the old days
When a young man was a strong man
All the people stepped back
When a young man walked by
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
But you know nowadays
It's the old man
Who's got all the money
And a young man
Ain't got nothin' in the world these days
Ain't got nothin'
Ain't got sweet fuck all!
[Instrumental break]
[Ad-Libs over instrumental break]
Everybody knows, everybody knows

Ooh, yeah!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah!
Yeah
Everybody knows, everybody knows
In the old days
Everybody stepped back
When a young man walked, walked by
They stepped back!
They stepped back!
They stepped back!
[Verse 4]
Nowadays, if you're the young man
They ain't got nothin' in the world these days, I said!
They ain't got nothin'
Ain't got sweet fuck all![Crowd cheering]
[Pete Townshend]
