Lyrics
Seize the day (Graduation)
Intro: (not recorded)
Brother and sisters! Congratulations!
Let?s celebrate the graduation!
V.1:
No more tests, no boring books
No headaches, no stupid looks
No cheat-sheets in underwear
Caps are flying in the air
Bridge:
Look at me! Look at you! Look at us!
That?s what we used to call a ?Class?
Very clever - not so sober
Can?t believe the school is over
Ch.:
Ye-Ye ?. Hooray!
Life is good ? all the way
Ye-Ye ? Hooray!
Life is good! Seize the day!
V.2:
We?ll keep in touch, ?cause we are friends
Former lovers & roommates
Joyful gang ? a happy crowd
No ?Goodbyes? ? see you around
Bridge:
Look at me! Look at you! Look at us!
That?s what we used to call a ?Class?
Very clever - not so sober
Finally, finally the school is over
Ch.:
Intermedia:
Gaudeamus Igitur, Juvenes dum sumus
(Latin commercium song of Graduating Students ? translation: ?let?s rejoice while we are young?)
