Ladies and of the class of 2007, wear sunscreen If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen be it The long term benefits of have been proved by scientists Whereas the of my advice has no basis more reliable Than my own experience, I will dispense this advice now
Enjoy the power and of your youth, oh, never mind You will never the power And the beauty of youth until they've faded But trust me, in years You will back at photos of yourself
And recall in a way you grasp now How possibility lay before you And how you really looked You are not as fat as you
Don't worry about the future or worry that know worrying Is as affective as trying to solve an algebra By bubble gum The real troubles in life are apt to be things never crossed your worried mind The kind that you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday
Do one thing every day that scares you, Don't be with other peoples' hearts Don't put up people who are reckless with yours, floss waste your time on jealousy Sometimes you're ahead, you're behind The race is long and in the end, it's with yourself
Remember compliments you receive, the insults If you succeed in this, tell me how Keep your old letters, throw away your old bank statements, stretch Don't guilty if you don't know what to do with your life
The interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do their lives Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know don't Get of calcium Be kind to knees, you'll miss them they're gone
you'll marry, maybe you won't Maybe you'll have children, you won't Maybe divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the "Funky Chicken" On your wedding anniversary Whatever you do, don't congratulate too much Or berate yourself Your choices are chance, so are everybody else's
Enjoy your body, use it way you can Don't be afraid of it or what other people of it It's the instrument you'll ever own, dance Even if you nowhere to do it but your own living room Read the directions even if you don't them Do not read magazines, they will only make you feel ugly
Brother and sister together make it through a spirit will take you and guide you there I know you've been hurting, but been waiting to be there for you And I'll be there just helping you out, I can
Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be for good Be nice to your siblings, they are your best link to your And the people most to stick with you in the future Understand that come and go But a few, who should hold on
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and For as the older you get, the you need the people You knew you were young Live in New York City once, but leave it makes you hard Live in northern California once, but before it makes you soft
Travel, accept certain truths Prices will rise, will philander, you too will get old And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you young were reasonable, politicians were noble And respected their elders
your elders, don't expect anyone else to support you Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy But you'll never know when one will run out Don't too much with your hair or by the time you're forty It will look Be careful whose you buy, but be patient with those who supply it
Advice is a form of nostalgia, it is a way of Wishing the from the disposal, wiping it off Painting the ugly parts and recycling for more than it's worth But me on the sunscreen
Brother and sister together make it through, oh yeah Someday a spirit will you and guide you there I know you've been hurting, but I've been waiting to be for you And be there just helping you out, whenever I can
free, oh yeah, everybody's free, oh yeah, oh, to feel good
