Enjoy Yourself


...an excerpt--I think in the wrong order!

Enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself,
While you're still in the pink.

The years go by,
As quickly as a wink.
Enjoy yourself,
Enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think.

You're gonna take that two-week trip,
No matter come what may.
But every year you put it off,
You just can't get away.

Next year for sure you'll hit the road,
You'll really get a-round !
But how far can you travel
When you're six feet underground. [hey!]

You work and work,
For years and years.
You're always on the go.
You never take a minute off,
Too busy makin' dough.

Someday you say you'll have your fun,
When you're a millionaire.
Imagine all the fun you'll have
In your old rockin' chair.


Enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself,
While you're still in the pink.

The years go by,
As quickly as a wink.
Enjoy yourself,
Enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think.
