[Intro: Andy Samberg]
YOLO, you only live once
The battle cry of a generation
This life is a precious gift
So don't get too crazy
It's not worth the risk
[Hook 1: Jimmy Fallon]
You know that we are still young
So don't be dumb
Don't trust anyone
Cause you only live once
Verse 1: Kiv, Jorm, & Andy
Ugh, you only live once
That's the motto
So take a chill pill
Ease off the throttle
Never go to loud clubs
Cause it's bad for your ears
Your friends will all be sorry
When they can't hear
And stay the hell away from d**
Cause they're not legal
Then bury all your money in the backyard
Like a beagle
Cause you should never trust a bank
They've been known to fail
And never travel by car, a bus
Boat or by rail
And don't travel by plane
And don't travel at all
Build a bomb shelter basement
With titanium walls
And wear titanium suits
In case pianos fall on you
And never go to saunas
Cause they're crawlin' with piranhas
And never take the stairs
Cause they're often unsafe
You only live once
Don't let it go to waste
[Hook 2: Jimmy Fallon]
You know that we are still young
So hold off on the fun
Cook your meat til it's done
Cause you only live once
[Verse 2: Jorm, Kiv, & Andy]
Yeah, and here's another piece of advice:
Stay away from kids
Cause their hair is filled with mad lice
There's no such thing
As too much Purell
This a cautionary tale
Word to George Orwell
So don't 1980 force
Any plugs into sockets
Always wear a chastity belt
And triple lock it
Then hire a taster
Make him check your food for poison
And if you think your mailman is a spy
Then destroy him
No blankets or pajamas
They can choke you in your sleep
Two words about furniture:
k**ing machines
Board your windows up
The sun is bad for your health
And always wear a straight jacket
So you're safe from yourself
[Verse 3: Black Thought]
Uh huh, yeah
Gotta get your money right mind right
And by the year 2020 like hindsight
You could have your portfolio diversified like
Stocks and bonds and hustles on the side right
A bunch to buy a bunch of crazy-a** nonsense
You wake up in the morning Fabergé egg omelets
That's money and then some
To spend some and lend some
It's disposable income
You only live once, right?
[Bridge: All]
YOLO, say no no
Isolate yourself
And just roll solo
Be care-folo
You oughta look out
Also stands for YOLO
[Hook 3: Jimmy Fallon]
You know that we are still young
Burn the prints off your thumbs
Then pull out all your teeth
So you can't bite your tongue
[Outro: All]
Only on this earth for a short time, time
So don't go outside, cause you don't want to die, die
Just take our advice and hide
And scream YOLO to the sky
You oughta look out
