Recall the time when you were young,

Full of wonder and love and fun.
Memories like this don’t last.
‘Cuz life is crazy, short and fast.

The world’s your playground,
The sky is your friend.
The timeless days seem to never end,
But days of childhood too quickly pass,
‘Cuz life is crazy, short, and fast, so…

Dance in rainstorms.
Play in dirt.
Chase some rainbows, and oh!
Eat Dessert First.
Eat Dessert First.

Throughout the turbulence of youth,
Your insecurities hide your truth.
So throw the chains off and have a blast,
‘Cuz life is crazy, short and fast, so…

Kiss the sunshine.
Smile and flirt.
Laugh too loudly, and oh!
Eat Dessert First.
Eat Dessert First.

Life’s uncertain so don’t delay.
Make time for happiness and play.
Erase the loneliness and strife,
And make the most of life.
Make the most of life.

Surround yourself with loving friends,
Home and family and happiness.
The time for sharing your love will pass,
‘Cuz life is crazy, short and fast, so…

Tell your loved ones
What they’re worth.
Build a legacy, and oh!
Eat Dessert First.

Climb some mountains,
Embrace the Earth.
Seize the day, and oh!
Eat Dessert First.

Fill your heart up
‘Til it bursts.
Live each moment, and oh!
Eat Dessert First.
Eat Dessert First.
Eat Dessert First.
Eat Dessert First.
