Which race is the oldest: the Ents or the Elves?

I frequently hear that the Ents are the oldest living beings.
Yeah, but why does Treebeard go on about how the Elves "awoke" them, and turned them from trees into Ents?
That must mean that the Elves are the oldest living beings, and this is even stated in that song that Treebeard sings - "eldest of all, the Elf-children"; but Treebeard obviously "belongs to the oldest living race in the world", or something.

What is correct?
