You should stop working For money and start laughing And start living for just living to jest Never stop short of making a living and working as a log Dog days are jokes for the affinity to a lazy afternoon And you can make a killing A penny for your thoughts A brass farthin' for your catatonic piano, mail on Sundays and the same ol' thing You want to become better at life and greater at living, do not stop short of looking up If your job allows you to look up, then do so by all means If by any means necessary, you cannot look at the stars and are blind to the meteors Your life will never find a purpose or meaning, that's common sense If you are willing to do that, you have learned the art of living and aren't concerned with the ones already dying If you are living on a prayer, you can stop dying for peace Enjoy life! C'est la vie!
