Tell me what you would prefer

A daffodil or a diamond

It don't matter if you say the latter,

No!

It's like if you were given the sun

You take the moon

And something you wanted so bad

Suddenly it ain't so cool

If I were you I'd choose

A daffodil, not a diamond

And save 'em up,

For a rainy day, rainy day

It's just a day away

And you may have the last one of its kind

(aah, oooo ooooo)

Oh yes you might



So when they come to buy

Your last precious flower

On the server

A million diamonds they will pay

And you'll tell 'em no way, no way

That's right

Don't exchange a daffodil for a diamond



Just save 'em up

For a rainy day, rainy day

It's just a day away

And you may have the last one of its kind

(aah, oooo ooooo)



The end of the world turns to just fairy dust

What a pretty gravestone it would make

And you'd live under some other bright sun

Yeah, that's a good one

(oooo ooooo)



Just save 'em up

For a rainy day, rainy day

It's just a day away

And you may have the last one of its kind



Save 'em up

For a rainy day, rainy day

It's just a day away

And you may have the last one of its kind

(aah, oooo ooooo)



You know it, baby
