Enjoy yourself

Composición: Carl Sigman
Interpretación: Louis Prima y su orquesta

Enjoy yourself while you’re still in the pink,

enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,

It’s later than you think.

You work and work for years and years,

you’re always on the go,

never take a minute off

to 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.

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.

(Bis)

Your heart of hearts, your dream of dreams,

your ravishing brunettes

has left you now and she’s become

somebody else’s pet (pity isn’t it).

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.

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.

(Bis)

There’s another thing, I want to tell you too.

You love somebody very much,

you’d like to set the date

but money doesn’t grow on trees

so you decide to wait (foolish fellow).

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.

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.

(Bis)

Enjoy yourself, don't be a fool!
