[Verse 1: Randy Newman and Chorus]
Was a bug, little bug, hardly there
How he felt, what he dreamed, who would care?
Without any evidence
(His flaws were many)
He was full of confidence
(Some people haven't any)
Didn't have much common sense
(It's highly over-rated)
He just knew that he'd come through

[Chorus]
It's the time of your life, so live it well
It's the time of your life, so live it well
We may only go 'round one time
As far as I can tell
It's the time of your life
It's the time of your life
It's the time of your life, so live it well

[Verse 2]
Like us all, he started small
Then he grew
When the time came he knew what to do
He knew in order to succeed
(They'd have to work together)
He turned a rock into a seed
(And they were changed forever)
Then they had the strength they'd need
(To get through stormy weather)
Do or die, you gotta try
[Chorus]
It's the time of your life, so live it well
It's the time of your life, so live it well
We may only go 'round one time
As far as I can tell (He could be wrong about that)
It's the time of your life, so live it well

[Bridge]
Isn't it a bit surprising
How our fortunes ebb and flow
And only to the enterprising
Does the magic fortune cookie go
Believe me

[Chorus]
It's the time of your life, so live it well
It's the time of your life, so live it well
We may only go 'round one time
As far as I can tell
It's the time of your life
It's the time of your life
It's the time of your life, so live it well
