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 an'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
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 an'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
