about

Kids are always being told to wait. Wait until you're older. Wait until you're taller. Wait until you've thought it through. Wait until the rain stops. This song strongly suggests, "Don't wait until the the sun shines, to live a sunny life/" And, further, it asks "Why wait, when you could do it now?!?"

lyrics

Don’t Wait Until Tomorrow
Gary Rasberry Dave Clark

Don’t wait until tomorrow don’t wait until next week
Don’t wait until the perfect time to take a little peek
Don’t wait another moment, don’t wait another day
Just wait until your Dad get’s home—
That’s what your Mom might say

Don’t wait until the rain stops before you start to play
Don’t wait until you’re really sure that everything’s OK
Don’t wait until tomorrow if you’re sure today
Just wait until your Mom gets home—
That’s what your Dad might say

Why wait friends?
When you could do it now!
Why wait friends?
Don’t need to show you how
Why wait friends?
When you could do it now!
Down the stairs through the gate with a cartwheel and a bow

Don’t wait until the sun shines to live a sunny life
Don’t wait until you’ve used a fork before you use a knife
Don’t wait until you’re really sure that the time is right
Don’t wait until the holidays to stay up late at night

Don’t wait until it’s perfect—every single time
Don’t wait until you’ve used all yours before you ask for mine
Don’t wait until you’re ready to try it by yourself
Don’t wait until you’re taller to each the highest shelf

Why wait friends?
It’s time to show some style
Why wait friends?
You’ve been doing it all the while
Why wait friends?
To show us your great smile?
Shed a tear, laugh out loud and do it all in style

If a cloud comes sailing by don’t worry your mind
Don’t let it rain on your parade Let’s have a good time

Let’s sing a song all day long let’s dance in the breeze
Let’s run and laugh in the waving grass and beautiful trees …
