Hey pal, hey friend, hey buddy
Why so sad, so downright unhappy?
That's not my cup of tea
You know that this could be
You-your last day here on Earth, so buddy please
Won't you smile just for me?
My dear, my dear, no, you don't have to cry
That ain't a pretty legacy to leave behind
Stop and smell the roses while you've got the time
Pretty soon you'll be pushing up daisies where the sun don't shine
Pretty soon I'll be pushing up daisies where the sun don't shine
You know I just gotta say
That you might not have a lot of time to waste
So lose that long face
None of us are here to stay
So treat every day like it's a holiday
Until the day you slip away
My dear, my dear, no, you don't have to cry
That ain't a pretty legacy to leave behind
Stop and smell the roses while you've got the time
Pretty soon you'll be pushing up daisies where the sun don't shine
Pretty soon you'll be pushing up daisies where the sun don't shine
