Last night I tried so hard to sleep
I counted half a million sheep
And my whole life passed right before my eyes
I pondered on the universe
And only went from bad to worse
And wondered what would happen if I died

I think I've been thinkin' way too much
I say it's a perfect time for us to

Live it up
There ain't no time to waste, no time
And there ain't no better time to celebrate
Hurry up, can't you feel the urgency
Ain't nothin' we can do when it's too late
And too late's gonna catch us soon enough
So let's live it up

Old man Jones with all he owns
You never see him smile you know
He's sittin' on that big portfolio
It's clear that all that's on his mind
Is the top of the ladder and the bottom line
But he can't take it with him when he goes

Poor old Jones he never learned to dance
I bet he'd trade it all for one more chance to

Live it up
There ain't no time to waste, no time
And there ain't no better time to celebrate
Hurry up, can't you feel the urgency
Ain't nothin' we can do when it's too late
And too late's gonna catch us soon enough
So let's live it up

The sand keeps slippin' through the hourglass
And every day's more precious than the last so

Live it up
There ain't no time to waste, no time
And there ain't no better time to celebrate
Hurry up, life is an emergency
Ain't nothin' we can do when it's too late
And too late's gonna catch us soon enough
So let's live it up
