Enjoy what ye's got, nae what ye have not,
'Tis a weak heart lamentin' with sorrow.
When the days seem cursed, it could always be worse,
Fight depression with sword and with arrow!

When there's nothin' as clouds and trouble about
And thunder is clappin' as the lightning strikes around
And just when you're thinking this may be your last
THROW A LASH 'ROUND THE MAST HOLD FAST!

When the world ain't right and it smites you with strife,
We can all buckle down -- it's a test they call life.
Very soon you will see what kind of animal you'd be
Takin' the bite outta life!

When they're testing the gallows you're hung like a dog,
Or they're marching us out to a firing squad
We'll just smile and recall all the good times we've had
IT'S THE BEST DAY 'TIL TOMORROW
It's the best day 'til tomorrow.

Don't consider surrender when you're down in the drinks
And you look down and notice you've still got your legs
So stand up and fight, use ye's might, seize the day,
IT'S THE BEST DAY 'TIL TOMORROW
It's the best day
It's the best day
It's the best day 'til tomorrow
It's the best day....
UNTIL TOMORROW.
