Subject: ADDPOP: Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think) From: Jim Dixon Date: 07 Feb 02 - 02:21 PM This is more complete, and more accurate, I think, than the version linked to above. Copied fromTom Waits Supplement: Lyrics analysis: It's good to borrow:
ENJOY YOURSELF (IT'S LATER THAN YOU THINK)
You work and work for years and years. You're always on the go.
CHO: Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think.
You're gonna take that ocean trip, no matter, come what may.
Your heart of hearts, your dream of dreams, your ravishing brunette,
You never go to nightclubs and you just don't care to dance.
[Recorded by Doris Day, Louis Prima, Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians, and by Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra, with Lucy Ann Polk, vocalist.]

Subject: Lyr Add: ENJOY YOURSELF (performed by Guy Lombardo From: Tiger Date: 07 Feb 02 - 09:17 PM C'mon, Jim. There's lots more than that. I thought I posted this a few years ago - maybe not.
Lyric by Herb Magidson, Music by Carl Sigman Copyright 1949, Edward H. Morris & Company, Inc.
You work and work for years and years, you're always on the go,
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.
You're gonna take that ocean trip, no matter come what may,
Your heart of hearts, your dream of dreams, your ravishing brunette,
You worry when the weather's cold, you worry when it's hot,
You love somebody very much, you'd like to set the date,
You never go to nightclubs and you just don't care to dance,
Another birthday's here and gone, you've turned another page, |
