This weekend’s song is Enjoy Yourself (It’s Later Than You Think). Written in 1949, music by Carl Sigman and words by Herb Magidson, the most famous version is from 1949 by Guy Lombardo, but the version I’m going to post was originally recorded in 1963, by Prince Buster with slightly altered lyrics and a Ska beat.
It’s good to be wise
When you’re young
Cos’ you can only be young
But for once
Enjoy yourself
And have lots of fun
So gonna live, my friend
And it will never done
My ex girlfriend absolutely loves this song. She was always singing it. I suppose it’s what you might call a timeless classic. It is a good song, though, and she isn’t (like a lot of young people are) hedged in by a certain musical type or era.
Living in the past is not healthy.
So, as always,
Enjoy, and,
A good week, whether you get wisdom, get knowledge and understanding or not.
