Dare to enjoy yourself

A couple of days ago I watched a Woody Allen movie "Everyone says I love you". It was released in 1996 but this song of the Grandpa is still so up-to-date. Here are the lyrics.

You work and work for years and years, you're always on the goYou never take a minute off, too busy makin' doughSomeday you say, you'll have your fun, when you're a millionaireImagine all the fun you'll have in your old rockin' chair
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you thinkEnjoy yourself, while you're still in the pinkThe years go by, as quickly as a winkEnjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
You're gonna take that ocean trip, no matter come what mayYou've got your reservations made, but you just can't get awayNext year for sure, you'll see the world, you'll really get aroundBut how far can you travel when you're six feet underground?
Your heart of hearts, your dream of dreams, your ravishing brunetteShe's left you and she's now become somebody else's petLay down that gun, don't try my friend to reach the great beyondYou'll have more fun by reaching for a redhead or a blond
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you thinkEnjoy yourself, while you're still in the pinkThe years go by, as quickly as a winkEnjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
You never go to night clubs and you just don't care to danceYou don't have time for silly things like moonlight and romanceYou only think of dollar bills tied neatly in a stackBut when you kiss a dollar bill, it doesn't kiss you back
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you thinkEnjoy yourself, while you're still in the pinkThe years go by, as quickly as a winkEnjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
So the advice of the day is: dare to enjy yourself now. Enjoy your life now. Don't wait, otherwise all your life will be spent waiting.
