Ladies and of the class of '99 sunscreen
If I could you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it The benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis reliable Than my own meandering experience, I dispense this advice now
the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind You not understand the power and beauty of your youth Until they've but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back At of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you looked You are not as fat as you
worry about the future Or know that worrying is as effective as to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on idle Tuesday Do one thing every day scares you
Chorus*
Don't be reckless with other people's Don't put up with people who are reckless with
Don't waste your time on Sometimes you're ahead, you're behind The race is long and in the end, only with yourself Remember you receive, forget the insults, if you succeed in doing this, tell me how Keep your old love letters, throw away old bank statements
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you to do with your life. The most people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I still 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 children, maybe you won't Maybe divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the 'Funky Chicken' On your 75th wedding you do, don't congratulate yourself too much Or yourself either Your choices are half chance, so are 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 greatest instrument ever own Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own room Read the directions even if you don't follow Do not read beauty magazines, they will only you feel ugly
Chorus*
Get to know your parents, you never know when be gone for good Be nice to your siblings, they're your best link to your And the people most likely to stick with you in the
Understand that come and go But a precious few, who hold on
Work to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle For as the older you get, the more you need the you knew when you were young Live in New York City once but leave before it you hard Live in California once but leave before it makes you soft
Accept inalienable truths will rise, politicians will philander, you, too, will get old And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you young Prices reasonable, politicians were noble And children respected elders
Respect your
Don't expect anyone to support you Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a spouse But you never know when one might run out
Don't mess too much your hair Or by the time 40 it will look 85
Be whose advice you buy but be patient with those who supply it Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of the past From the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the parts And recycling it for than it's worth
But me on the sunscreen
Chorus*
