I don't care to be bad
I prefer to think twice
All I know is it's quite a show
But it's still alright to be nice
Yankee toes and Eskimos can turn to frozen ice

When the cold days come
and the old ways fade away
There'll be no more sun
and we'll wish that we had held on to the day
Seize the day

I don't mean to be wrong
I don't need to be right
I'm okay on a sunny day
When the world deserves to be bright
Dinosaurs and Santa Claus will stay indoors tonight

When the cold days come
and the old ways fade away
There'll be no more sun
and we'll wish that we had held on to the day
Seize the day
Seize the day

I bless the day when you came into my life
And I could finally roll back the blind
You helped me to realize that love was the greatest prize
I only had to open my mind

Seize the day
Seize the day
Seize the day
Seize the day
Seize the day

I don't care to be bad
I prefer to think twice
All I know is it's quite a show
But it's still alright to be nice
Yankee toes and Eskimos can turn to frozen ice

When the cold days come
and the old ways fade away
There'll be no more sun
and we'll wish that we had held on to the day
Seize the day
Seize the day
