Allan S. Lyr Req: When I Was in My Prime (35) RE: When I was in My Prime 16 Jan 99


I know the same song as Gargoyle. The chorus went as follows:

I'm too old, too old,
Too old to cut the mustard any more.

1. When I was a young man in my prime,
I used to do it all the time,
But now I'm getting old and grey,
I only do it once a day.

Here's a question: where did the expression "cut the mustard" come from?
