Doris Day

Doris Day (born Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff, April 3, 1922) is an American actress, singer, and animal rights activist, who began her career as a big band singer in 1939, but only began to be noticed after her first hit recording, "Sentimental Journey", in 1945. After leaving the Les Brown & His Band of Renown to try a solo career, she started her long-lasting partnership with Columbia Records, which would remain her only recording label. The contract lasted from 1947 to 1967, and included more than 650 recordings, making Day one of the most popular and acclaimed singers of the 20th century.

Enjoy yourself while you're still in the pink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
It's later than you think.

You work and work for years and years
You're always on the go
Never take a minute off
To busy makin' dough
Some day, you say, you'll have your fun
When you're a millionaire
Imagine all the fun you'll have
In your old rockin' chair

Enjoy yourself it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself while you're still in the pink
The years go by as quickly as a wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
It's later than you think.
(Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself it's later than you think)

Your heart of hearts, your dream of dreams
Your ravishing brunettes
Has left you now and she's become
Somebody else's pet (pity isn't it)
Lay down that gun, don't try my friend
To reach the great beyond
You'll have more fun by reaching
For a red-head or a blonde

Enjoy yourself it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself while you're still in the pink
The years go by as quickly as a wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
It's later than you think.
(Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself it's later than you think)

There's another thing I want to tell you too.

You love somebody very much
You'd like to set the date
But money doesn't grow on trees
So you decide to wait (Foolish Fellow)
You're so afraid that you will bite off
More than you can chew
Don't be afraid, you won't have teeth
When you reach ninety two.

Enjoy yourself it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself while you're still in the pink
The years go by as quickly as a wink
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy yourself
It's later than you think.
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy yourself it's later than you think

    I am sick of typos, no proofreading, and a lack of editing. Most of all I'm sick of entire generations of people who don't know the difference between "to" and "too", "a" and "an", "its" and "it's", fail to hyphenate compound numbers, and make other basic grammatical errors. It's inexcusable to get things wrong in copyrighted materials, specifically in song lyrics. If you cannot speak and write your own language, or hire people who can, or at least use a grammar checker, then don't pretend to be a publisher. Just in this one set of lyrics are the following errors: (1) "to busy" should be "too busy"(2) "Someday" is one word, not two (3) subject-verb agreement requires that either multiple "brunettes have left" or a single "brunette has left", but it's not "brunettes has left" (4) Phrasing punctuation errors are too many to list, but it really is okay to have sentences end with periods within a line or phrase, e.g. "Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself. It's later..."; or "...enjoy yourself--it's", or "...enjoy yourself: it's"; or even "Enjoy yourself. Enjoy yourself. It's..." or "Enjoy yourself. (It's later...), would all be acceptable. But, "Enjoy yourself it's" is a run-on sentence and is not acceptable. The first clue was in how the title itself was punctuated. Do better.
