Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)

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.  Refrain: 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 ocean trip, no matter, come what may; You've got your reservations but you just can't get away. Next year, for sure, you'll see the world, you'll really get around - But how far can you travel when you're six-feet under ground?  Your heart of hearts, your dream of dreams, your ravishing brunette; She's left you and she's now 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 reachin' for a redhead or a blonde.  (Refrain)  You never go to nightclubs and you just don't care to 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.  (Refrain)

Lyrics to 'Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)' performed by Guy Lombardo in 1950
