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
