[Verse 1]
There are many minds in circulation
Believing in reincarnation
In me you see
One who doesn't agree
Challenging popular affronts
I believe I'll only live once

[Chorus]
And I want to make the most of it
If there's a party, I want to be the host of it
If there's a haunted house, I want to be the ghost of it
If there's a town, I want to be the toast of it

[Verse 2]
I say to me every morning
"You've only one life to live."
So why be done in?
Let's let the sun in
And gloom can jump in the riv'

[Pre-Chorus]
No use to beat on the doldrums
Let's be imaginative
Each day is numbered
No good when slumbered
With only one life to live
[Chorus]
And I want to make the most of it
If there's a party, I want to be the host of it
If there's a haunted house, I want to be the ghost of it
If there's a town, I want to be the toast of it
And I want to make the most of it
If there's a party, I want to be the host of it
If there's a haunted house, I want to be the ghost of it
If there's a town, I want to be the toast of it

[Verse 3]
Why let the goblins upset you?
One look and see how they run
And what does worrying get you?
Nothing, nothing
What you collect at the grindstone
Becomes a millstone in time
This is my thesis: why go to pieces?
Step up while you're in your prime

[Pre-Chorus]
No use to beat on the doldrums
Let's be imaginative
Each day is numbered
No good when slumbered
With only one life to live
[Chorus]
And I want to make the most of it
If there's a party, I want to be the host of it
If there's a haunted house, I want to be the ghost of it
If there's a town, I want to be the toast of it
And I want to make the most of it
If there's a party, I want to be the host of it
If there's a haunted house, I want to be the ghost of it
If there's a town, I want to be the toast of it

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And I want to make the most of it
If there's a party, I want to be the host of it
If there's a haunted house, I want to be the ghost of it
If there's a town, I want to be the toast of it
