[Verse] The clock’s got a swagger tick-tock sway We’re dancing through life in a grand café Feathers in hats champagne in our veins Let’s paint the night with sparkling stains [Prechorus] Oh the band plays fast the world spins slow Every note’s a step where dreams will go [Chorus] You only live once but honey that's the stuff If you do it right once is enough Spin the roulette dance on the bluff Life's a wild bet once is enough [Verse 2] Velvet shadows and saxophone winks Hearts in rhythm like crystal clinks The moon’s a spotlight let it shine On the Charleston steps of borrowed time [Prechorus] Oh the champagne pops the laughter flows Every moment’s a verse the melody knows [Chorus] You only live once but honey that's the stuff If you do it right once is enough Spin the roulette dance on the bluff Life's a wild bet once is enough
