Annotationen
Dies ist eine alte Traditionalpop-Nummer, die über Prince Buster zu den Specials gelangte. Sie hat einen cleveren Text: Die weit verbreitete protestantische Weisheit lautet: Vertrödle nicht dein Leben, sondern leiste etwas. Der Song dreht das frech um: «Geniess dein Leben, solange du jung bist und lebst!»

Lyrics
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as you wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself It's later than you think Hello, I'm Terry And I'm going to enjoy myself first It's good to be wise when you're young 'Cos you can only be young but the once Enjoy yourself and have lots of fun So glad and live life longer than you've ever done Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as you wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself It's later than you think Never right, yes I know Get wisdom, knowledge and understanding These three, were given free by the maker Go to school, learn the rules, don't be no faker It's not wise for you to be a foot stool Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as you wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself It's later than you think Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as you wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself It's later than you think
