             G                                                                                       D

1. You work and work for years and years, you’re always on the go,

             D                  D7                   D                    G

    you never take a minute off, too busy making dough,

                G                                                           G7                 C

    Some day you say you'll have your fun when you’re a millionaire,

        C       D         G             E          Am        D            G       - D

    imagine all the fun you'll have in your old rocking chair.

 

     G                                               D

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think,

     D                           D7                     G

enjoy yourself while you’re still in the pink,

          G                     G7              C

The years go by as quickly as a wink,

     C                     G                       D                     G

enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.

 

              G                                                                            D

2. Your gonna take that ocean trip no matter come what may,

                 D                   D7                              D                      G

    you've got your reservations made but you just can't get away.

               G                                                          G7             C

    Next year for sure you'll see the world you'll really get around,

            C          D           G         E              Am        D           G         - D

    but how far can you travel when you’re six feet under ground ?

 

               G                                                                                       D

3. Your heart of hearts, your dream of dreams, your ravishing brunette,

             D                           D7                          D                G

   she's left you and she's now become somebody else's pet.

             G                                                         G7                        C

    Lay down that gun, don't try, my friend, to reach the great beyond,

               C              D          G           E     Am         D      G        - D

    you'll have more fun by reaching for a redhead or a blonde.

             G                                                                            D

4. You never go to night clubs and you just don't care to dance,

             D                          D7                       D                       G

    you don't have time for silly things like moonlight and romance.

            G                                           G7            C

    You only think of dollar bills tied neatly in a stack,

              C           D        G      E        Am       D           G        - D

    but when you kiss a dollar bill, it doesn't kiss you back.

 

     G                                               D

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think,

     D                           D7                     G

enjoy yourself while you’re still in the pink,

          G                     G7              C

The years go by as quickly as a wink,

     C                     G                        D     D7           G

enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
