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