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
