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
