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

Your last day here on earth so buddy, please

Won’t ya 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 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 I'll be pushing up daisies where the sun don’t shine
