You stop at a stand, For cold lemonade
Cause The Sun’s beating down, So go find the shade
It’s getting hotter
Don’t teeter-totter
Better finish before your ice turns to water.
Hey Buddy, Take life by the reins
Play with the bubbles
Before they go down the drain
Make a decision
It’s not long division
Take it while the takin’s good
Oh yeah, take it while the takin’s good
Then you waited in line, For your favorite treat,
So, just take a bite, Don’t stare at your feet.
If you don’t think quick
And take a lick,
Your ice cream bar will fall off the stick.
Hey Buddy, Take a confident stance
Don’t head for the door before the last dance
When the band says one more
Step out on the floor
Take it while the takin’s good
Oh yeah, take it while the takin’s good
Hey buddy, Step up to the plate
The fast ball is coming so don’t hesitate
When there’s a chocolate meringue
Well, sizzle and bang
Take it while the takin’s good
Don’t miss the buffet
Before they take it away
Take it while the takin’s good
When the band says one more
Step out on the floor
Take it while the takin’s good
Oh yeah, take it while the takin’s good,
Take it while the takin’s good
