[Verse 1]
Looking out on a snowy day - can’t hop in my car to get away
A frigid sharpness is in the air, but I’m cozy inside - with time to spare
Need to stretch those neurons, read a book - keep on dancing, learn to cook
Gotta’ remember to tell myself - the best things in life are free!
[Verse 2]
Animal tracks on the ground - four-footed friends still get around
In muffled blankets, I don’t hear a sound – I’ve fallen off the merry-go-round
Now it’s time for me, think I’ll ski, and try my darnedest not to hit a tree
Gotta’ remember to tell myself - the best things in life are free!
[Chorus]
The best things in life are free, the best things in life are free,
Gotta remember to tell myself, the best things in life are free
The best things in life are free, money doesn’t grow on a tree,
Gotta remember to tell myself, the best things in life are free
[Verse 3]
Power’s off but the heat’s still on - can’t order my stuff off Amazon
Fed the birds, watched them frolic – I might just become an alcoholic…
Need to shovel, show some brawn - carve out my path across the lawn
But I’ll go to bed at eight, wake up at dawn, and hope to see the white stuff all gone!
[Chorus]
The best things in life are free, the best things in life are free,
Gotta remember to tell myself, the best things in life are free
The best things in life are free, money doesn’t grow on a tree,
Gotta remember to tell myself, the best things in life are free
Don’t spend your life in misery, cause money’s not all it’s cracked up to be
The best things in life are free
