"Sometimes you gotta just let go, and let it fly. No holding back and definitely no holding on. Go out, be bold and have the time of your life...it only comes once."
lyrics
When I was a young boy, this is what I’d do at night
Ten cents for a shoeshine, a dollar for some dynamite
All work and no play
Don’t make it okay
Dummy up, you don’t say
Get away, get away, get away, get away
It’s time to open your mouth and close your eyes
Oh, man, forget you, your dreams will never come alive
Sitting in your bedroom, listening to 45’s
Hey, what you know, Jack
You could get your life back
If you made the right track
Look at that, look at that, look at that, look at that
It’s time to open your mouth and close your eyes
Mother, mother, may I, may I say that I don’t mind
I’ve always been a dollar short, but that’s what made me pennywise
All work and no play
Don’t make it okay
Dummy up, you don’t say
Get away, get away, get away, get away
It’s time to open your mouth and close your eyes
