CHORUS:
2
Shopworn and aged, what's left of a man
3
Will never be useless cause he's part of God's plan
4
Spoken:
5
Did you ever think of life as just a shop along the street
6
And yourself as a product displayed in easy reach?
7
You laid there for some quite some time now and pondered at your fate
8
Then you begin to wonder if you'd hit the market late
9
Wealth had looked you over once and seen you at your best
10
But somehow you didn't fit his needs so he took one of the rest
11
Sweet love had read your label and you lingered in her mind
12
But competition caught her eye and she left you there behind
13
Fame had brushed the edges of the counter where you laid
14
And she pondered for a moment but then she walked away
15
Lady Luck had even picked you up but this you heard her say:
16
"I just can't afford you so I'll just have to let you lay"
17
Then one day they marked you down put you up on sale
18
And you got looked over once again all to no avail
19
Now stained with yellow and marked with age you heard a salesman state:
20
"Boss I guess I'll throw this out it's old and out of date"
21
The keeper of the shop came then and he seemed to understand
22
He smiled and looked you over, then held out a caring hand
23
Give me that I'll take it home. Don't throw it on the street
24
It's old and gray but in its way it made my shop complete
25
CHORUS:
26
Shopworn and aged, what's left of a man
27
Will never be useless cause he's part of God's plan
