There's a sparkle in your eye You are young and bright and witty Please don't let that sparkle die And please don't go to the city You're better than pinstriped suits and fur-lined cars I know you'll go round the bend in trendy bars You've got so much more to give But you won't wait, you won't wait You've got all your life to live But it can't wait, it can't wait
'Cos you taste like peppermint After eight, after eight You've got so much more You've got so much more to give Well they say that desperate times Often lead to desperate measures But I thought you weren't the type To give in to corporate pressures Is this not the time to live the most each day And later confront the debts of excess play Chorus
