Enjoy Yourself

You work and work for years and years. You're always on the go. You never take a minute off, you're too busy makin' dough. Some day, you say, you'll have your fun when you're a millionaire. Imagine all the fun you'll have in your old rockin' chair, so enjoy yourself, it's later than you think. Enjoy yourself while you're still in the pink. The years go by as quickly as you wink, so enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think. Your heart of hearts, your dream of dreams your ravishing brunette has left you now and she's become somebody else's pet. Lay down that gun, don't try my friend to reach the great beyond. You'll have more fun by reaching for a red-head or a blonde, so enjoy yourself, it's later than you think. Enjoy yourself while you're still in the pink. The years go by as quickly as you wink. Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think. You love somebody very much, you'd like to set the date, but money doesn't grow on trees so you decide to wait. You're so afraid that you will bite off more than you can chew. Don't be afraid, you won't have teeth when you reach ninety two, so enjoy yourself, it's later than you think. Enjoy yourself while you're still in the pink The years go by as quickly as you wink, so enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think. You never visit nightclubs so you never get a dance. You don't have time for silly things like moonlight and romance. You only think of dollar bills tied neatly in a stack, but when you kiss a dollar bill it doesn't kiss you back, so enjoy yourself, it's later than you think. Enjoy yourself while you're still in the pink. The years go by as quickly as you wink, so enjoy, enjoy, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy Yourself! It's later than you think. * http://youtu.be/JYpOb-PQyNg

Billy, My great aunt Margaret used to sing that song to me a dreadful amount of times. She was an old battleaxe.
