Lyrics

[Intro]

One, two, three, four!


[Verse 1]

She was always in a hurry

Never took the time to look around

She was always one to worry and fret

Staring at the ground


[Verse 2]

Every minute, she'd be rushing

Someone always breathing down her neck

Felt like everyone was pushing her down

Keeping her in check


[Verse 3]

How could she leave? She's gotta stay

Somebody has to sit and wait

Deep in a dream, she hears a voice

"It's not too late to celebrate"


[Pre-Chorus]

Uncontrollable laughter (not too late to celebrate)

'Round and 'round in her head (no one said you've got to wait)

This is what she was after (not too late to celebrate)

Not too late, not too late


[Chorus 1]

It's never too late to celebrate

No one said you've got to wait

Allow me to congratulate you, baby

Yeah, yeah


It's never too late to celebrate

And no one said you had to wait

Allow me to congratulate you, baby


[Chorus 2]

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late, never too late


Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late, never too late


[Verse 2]

Now she doesn't have to hurry

She can do exactly what she wants

Ask her why she doesn't worry or fret

This is her response:


[Pre-Chorus]

Uncontrollable laughter

'Round and 'round in her head

This is what she was after

Not too late, not too late


[Chorus 1]

It's never too late to celebrate

No one said you've gotta wait

Allow me to congratulate you, baby

Yeah


It's never too late to celebrate

Allow me to congratulate

It's never too late to celebrate you, baby


[Outro]

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late, never too late


Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late, never too late


Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late, never too late


Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late, never too late


Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late to celebrate

Never too late, never too late


Never too late to celebrate

Ahh, ahh!
