Lyrics Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ninety nine wear sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future sunscreen would be it
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists
Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience
I will dispense this advice now
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth oh never mind
You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded
But trust me in twenty years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked
You are not as fat as you imagine
Don't worry about the future or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind
The kind that blindsides you at four PM on some idle Tuesday
Do one thing everyday that scares you
Sing don't be reckless with other people's hearts don't put up with people who're reckless with yours
Floss don't waste your time on jealousy sometimes you're ahead sometimes you're behind
The race is long and in the end it's only with yourself
Remember compliments you receive forget the insults
If you succeed in doing this tell me how
Keep your old love letters throw away your old bank statements
Stretch don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life
The most interesting people I know didn't know at twenty two what they wanted to do with their lives
Some of the most interesting forty year olds I know still don't
Get plenty of calcium
Be kind to your knees you'll miss them when they're gone
Maybe you'll marry maybe you won't maybe you'll have children maybe you won't maybe you'll divorce at forty maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your seventy-fifth wedding anniversary what ever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either
Your choices are half chance so are everybody else's
Enjoy your body use it every way you can don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own
Dance even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room
Read the directions even if you don't follow them
Do not read beauty magazines they will only make you feel ugly
Get to know your parents you never know when they'll be gone for good
Be nice to your siblings they're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future
Understand that friends come and go but with the precious few you should hold on
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle 'cos the older you get the more you need the people you knew when you were young
Live in
New York City once but leave before it makes you hard
Live in Northern
California once but leave before it makes you soft
Travel
Accept certain inalienable truths prices will rise politicians will philander you too will get old and when you do
You'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable politicians were noble and children respected their elders
Respect your elders
Don't expect anyone else to support you
Maybe you have a trust fund maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse but you never know when either one might run out
Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're forty it will look eighty five
Be careful whose advice you buy but, be patient with those who supply it
Advice is a form of nostalgia dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal wiping it off painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth
But trust me on the sunscreen
