There are many minds in circulation
Believing in reincarnation
In me you see
One who doesn't agree
Challenging possible affronts
I believe I'll only live once
And I want to make the most of it
If there's a party, I want to be the host of it
If there's a haunted house, I want to be the ghost of it
If I'm in town, I want to be the toast of it

I say to me every morning
"You've only one life to live."
So why be done in?
Let's see the sun in
And gloom can jump in the riv'

No use to beat on the doldrums
Let's be imaginative
Each day is numbered
No good when slumbered
With only one life to live

Why let the goblins upset you?
One smile and see how they run
And what does worrying net you?
Nothing!
The thing
Is to have fun

All this may sound kind of hackneyed
But it's the best I can give
Soon comes December
So please remember
You've only one life to live
Just one life to live

[She says to her every morning
She's only one life to live
So why be done in?
Let's let the sunshine in
And gloom can jump in the riv’]

What you collect at the grindstone
Becomes a millstone in time
This is my thesis:
Why go to pieces?
Step one while you're in your prime

You may say I'm an escapist
But I would rather by far
Be that than be a red-tapist
Lead me
Speed me
Straight to the bar!

Just laugh at Old Man Repression
He'll fade out into obliv'
And you're the winner
I'm off to dinner
I've only one life to live
Just one life to live
