Enjoy Yourself

This morning, a friend shared a beautiful old song - from 1950
sung by Doris Day

                  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 the minute off
Too busy making dough
Someday you say
You'll have your fun
When you're a millionaire
Imagine all the fun you'll have
In your 'ol rocking 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
It's later than you think

C'mon now, you gotta have fun!
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 underground

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

Get out and see the world!
You worry when the weather's cold
You worry when it's hot
You worry when you're doing well
You worry when you're not
It's worry worry all the time
You don't know how to laugh
They'll think of something funny when
They write your epitaph

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
It's later than you think

                       Found another verse from elsewhere:

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, enjoy, enjoy yourself
It's later than you think.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy yourself 
it's later than you think
