Lyrics

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 you’ll be pushing up daisies where the sun don’t shine…
