In life you must prioritize
Find out what’s important and don’t compromise
Focus on the things that matter the most
Then give yourself a well-deserved double dose!

I figured this out when I was young
After many times of getting stung
Now I look at life with this philosophy
And here are the things that matter to me

(Chorus)
A drink, a kiss and a laugh
Three things I believe in if you care to ask
The world is spinning madly and it’s going too fast
I try to slow it down though I’m having a blast
I like the old traditions I’m not an iconoclast
And when I look at all the wealth I’ve amassed
The things that give me pleasure are …
A drink, a kiss and a laugh


It’s the simple things in life that make it grand
Like running on the beach with your feet in the sand
They can’t take that away it’s a gift from God
Just soak it all in and you’ll be awed

When I look at you girl my heart speeds up
You give me goosebumps and my blood pressure jumps
I look in your eyes and I know it’s real
And here are the things that really appeal

(Chorus)
A drink, a kiss and a laugh
Three things I believe in if you care to ask
The world is spinning madly and it’s going too fast
I try to slow it down though I’m having a blast
I like the old traditions I’m not an iconoclast
And when I look at all the wealth I’ve amassed
The things that give me pleasure are …
A drink, a kiss and a laugh


It takes a while for some to figure it out
The difference between important and you can do with out
When you reach this enlightened epiphany
You realize the best things in life are free

In the middle of the night while I’m counting sheep
You whisper your dreams when you can’t sleep
Love and trust form a super glue that binds
Two souls together to the end of time

(Chorus)
A drink, a kiss and a laugh
Three things I believe in if you care to ask
The world is spinning madly and it’s going too fast
I try to slow it down though I’m having a blast
I like the old traditions I’m not an iconoclast
And when I look at all the wealth I’ve amassed
The things that give me pleasure are …
A drink, a kiss and a laugh
