Hey pal, hey friend, hey buddy Why so sad, so downright unhappy? Oh, that's not my cup of tea Did you know that this could be 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 pushin' up daisies Where the Sun don't shine Pretty soon I'll be pushin' 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 pushin' up daisies Where the Sun don't shine Pretty soon you’ll be pushin' up daisies Where the Sun don't shine
