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
