Yolo by The Lonely Island
Yolo
[Chorus]
F Bb Dm
You know that we are still young, so don't be dumb
Bb
Don't trust anyone, 'cause you'll only live once.
[Verse I]
F Bb
Uh, you only live once that's the motto,
Dm C
so take a chill pill ease up the throttle.
F Bb
Never go to loud clubs 'cause it's bad for your ears,
Dm C
your friends will all be sorry when they can't hear.
F Bb
And stay the hell away from drugs 'cause they not legal,
Dm C
then bury all your money in the backyard like a beagle.
F Bb
'cause you should never trust a bank they've been known to fail,
Dm C
and never travel by car or bus, water, by rail.
F Bb
And don't travel by plane and don't travel at all,
Dm C
build a bomb shelter basement with titanium wall.
F Bb
And wear titanium suits in case pianos fall on 'ya,
Dm C
and never go to saunas 'cause they're crawling with piranhas.
F Bb
And never take the stairs 'cause they're often unsafe,
Dm C
you only live once, don't let it go to waste.
[Chorus]
F Bb Dm
You know that we are still young, so hold on from the fun
Bb
Cook your meat 'till it's done, 'cause you'll only live once.
[Verse II]
F Bb
Yeah, and here™s another piece of advice:
Dm C
Stay away from kids cause their hair is filled with mad lice.
F Bb
There™s no such thing as too much Purell.
Dm C
This a cautionary tale, word to George Orwell.
F Bb
So don™t 1980 force any plugs into sockets.
Dm C
Always wear a chastity belt and triple lock it.
F Bb
Then hire a taster make him check your food for poison.
Dm C
And if you think your mailman is a spy then destroy him.
F Bb
No blankets or pajamas they can choke you in your sleep.
Dm C
Two words about furniture: killing machines.
F Bb
Board your windows up the sun is bad for your health.
Dm C
And always wear a straight jacket so your safe from yourself.
[Verse III]
F
Uh huh, Take no chances (no chances)
Bb
Stop freelancing™ (right now)
Dm
Invest in your future, don™t dilute your finances (uh huh)
F Bb
401K, make sure it™s low risk
Dm
Then get some real estate (how much?) 4.2%
F
Thirty year mortgage,
Bb
that™s important, that™s a great deal
Dm
And if you can™t afford it, don™t forge it on your last bill
F Bb
Renting is for suckers right now. A dependable savings,
Dm C
And you™ll retire with money in your account. Beast!
F Bb
YOLO, say no no.
Dm F Bb
Isolate yourself and just roll solo, be care-folo
Dm C
You oughta look out also stands for YOLO.
[Chorus]
F Bb Dm
You know that we are still young. Burn the prints off your thumbs
Bb
Then pull out all your teeth, so you can™t bite your tongue.
F
Only on this earth for a short time, time
Bb Dm
So don™t go outside, cause you don™t want to die, die.
Bb F
Just take our advice and hide and scream YOLO to the sky.
You oughta look out.
