These lyrics are so true. I'm 62 & had bowel cancer diagnosis this year. Had major surgery & now having chemo. Life is for living. Enjoy yourself because it IS later than you think. RIP Terry.
Absolutely spot on my mate. Last year diagnosed with Cancer of the larynx. Had a full Laryngectomy and Radiotherapy. Stay Safe. Stay Strong. Enjoy Yourself. It's later than you think. Sleep Easy Terry.
Meet your "bro"!...69 and cancerous polyp found in colon(along with other polyps). Major surgery(5 hours of keyhole robotic) removing a section and rejoining remainder. Now on 3 months of chemo because of tiny cancerous cells found in lymph nodes. Any, onward and upward!...
RIP Terry, you are a legend that vocalised everything that was and is wrong with toryism. Sad indictment on the UK that your music is still relevant today. You did your part, your family and friends have my sympathy and can be rightly proud of you.
A fitting song for anyone at a crossroads in life,I've given up my job"bus driver since the 90s"sold my house, moved far away from my home town,I'm going to run out of money around February, but it's the best decision I've ever made,At 55 the words of this fantastic song gave me a push 3 months ago to change things and ENJOY YOUR LIFE IT'S LATER THAN YOU THINK, so saddened to hear of Terry's passing,this song started my life change so thank you so much for that.
another year (or two), another boogie woogie version of this on Hootenanny making me want to come here afterwards to hear it done properly... enjoy yourselves, fellow human beings...x
I saw them for 3rd time at the Richoe centre in Coventry for their 30th anniversary . They played ghost town ..I stopped dancing and just stared at them .. tears streaming down my face ...think OMFG it's the specials and I here with them . The next song Nevel staples went on the mic and stopped the music . Said a huge thank you to the crowd and said you've made 8 60 year old blokes so happy he had tears and struggled to speak we had tears ...I lost it at that point . Straight into concrete jungle omg the place erupted ....never been so happy in my life
I'm laid in bed 22 Dec , feeling like crap listening to this.. Tears in my eyes , I just can't believe Terry has gone. The specials were my childhood they were my adulthood , I've listened to them and my ska collection nearly everyday since 1979 when I was blown away by Gangsters.... been into 2 tone ever since.. It's a way of life.. Now a huge piece is missing.... Damn this cold making me sob RIP Terry .. Thanks for the music its kept me on the straight n narrow..
@@ElectricBear123 Lol, it is boogie-worthy...but it was literally a message from God to me about the time that we are currently in. We are at the very end of the world, believe it or not. You should believe it. The message was/is very sobering.
Monday's news just didn't seem real. Only sinking in now. I just love Terry's voice with his distinctive midlands vowels and the irony and pathos that he could effortlessly portray the through a song. RIP Terry & thank you from Ireland.
The first gig I ever went to was The Specials. I loved the music and the message, it defined my life. This band gave me greedy ears and the best of times with lovely humans. Thanks to all of you! Peace.
I just cannot with these guys! They get me every time. Just so fucking good…amazing how well this music wears, 40 years on! Every one of these guys was brilliant. Viva ska!
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as you wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Hello, I'm Terry, and I'm going to enjoy myself first It's good to be wise when you're young 'cause you can only be young but the once Enjoy yourself and have lots of fun So glad and live life longer than you've ever done Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as you wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Never right, yes I know Get wisdom, knowledge and understanding These three, were given free by the maker Go to school, learn the rules, don't be no faker It's not wise for you to be a foot stool Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as you wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as you wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
I had an epiphany to this song when I was like 5, and it just randomly popped up in my head about "enjoying a party because it's later then you think" and then found the urge to Google it. It's 1am right now where I am.
The Specials - Enjoy Yourself It's Later Than You Think is commonly misconceived as The Specials - Enjoy Yourself It's Better Than You Think Enjoy the facts!

Hopefully, with modern health care and science, you will be cured
Best of luck
I hope your chemo treatment went well and you have recovered from your serious bowel cancer. Stay healthy sir.
All the best from up the road 🏴🇬🇧😎

This song should be played to all kids at the end of every school-day.

Just sent this to my nephew partying in NYC. He’s 30. I only wish that he knew how true this is. Enjoy Yourself! Thanks Terry. jk
I heard this song for the first time on my 72nd birthday!
Thanks for teaching me this valuable life lesson, Terry. Rest in power.

This song is so correct about going to school. The more you know about any damn thing, the more fun you will have with it all your life.
Bloody brilliant
Bloody enjoy yourself
Live your life to the fullest degree your possible 🙂
I heard this in the supermarket 2 days ago 😁. That's why I looked for this online. I didnt know this was The Specials. 😀
I'd have stopped what i was doing and had a boogie!

we all agree thank you
R.I.P Terry Hall superb individual.
Monday's news just didn't seem real. Only sinking in now. I just love Terry's voice with his distinctive midlands vowels and the irony and pathos that he could effortlessly portray the through a song. RIP Terry & thank you from Ireland.
So sad news, a legend from my youth, thanks for the banging Tunes Terry Hall, my condolences to your family 💔💔💔

Prince Buster is the King.
And also Coventry, India and Cuba! Little bit of trivia for you lol
It is actually of a cover of Guy Lombardo which was a common New Year's song in its day, I like the specials version better
RIP Terry😥
We all know how it ends
It's up to you: go cryin',
Or go dancing
Enjoy yourself it’s later than you think enjoy life while it lasts
RIP Terry Hall. 🖤
Love this version but also love the Louis Prima version ---both very different and wonderful
The first gig I ever went to was The Specials. I loved the music and the message, it defined my life. This band gave me greedy ears and the best of times with lovely humans. Thanks to all of you! Peace.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Hello, I'm Terry, and I'm going to enjoy myself first
It's good to be wise when you're young
'cause you can only be young but the once
Enjoy yourself and have lots of fun
So glad and live life longer than you've ever done
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Never right, yes I know
Get wisdom, knowledge and understanding
These three, were given free by the maker
Go to school, learn the rules, don't be no faker
It's not wise for you to be a foot stool
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself. Its later than you think.
It will be over before you know it.
Plus nobody gets out alive.

This was one of my first albums with a poster pull out of the cover still love it
Very special song performed by a very special band - love you guys, some of the best gigs I've ever been too - inspirational - thank you
Goodnight Terry.🥲
Terry's loafers are on POINT!
I had an epiphany to this song when I was like 5, and it just randomly popped up in my head about "enjoying a party because it's later then you think" and then found the urge to Google it. It's 1am right now where I am.
That is the best thing I've ever read on the Internet. Clearly a precocious child!
R.I.P Terry
Always reminds me of house's final episode
I'm Terry and I'm going to enjoy myself first. Just wash up afterwards.
This is one of my favorite tracks since I was a teenager.
what a tune
I wonder if Terry reds these posts
RIP TERRY

BoMb from NO PLACE TO PISS was here and I’m dancing in my underwear now ❤
Poignantly prescient 😢
I love playing Guy Lombardo's version then this versiion
POV: you’re here because you watched Adam Project and remembered one of the best tracks ever
when the first part of the line was spoken in the movie, I subconsciously finished it. great song.
You got it!
❤
Finch brought me here ;)
Same! Never heard this song until I watched the movie with Tom Hanks. Very catchy and uplifting song.
It's too bad Spike Jones never recorded this.
isnt there another album cover?
The Specials - Enjoy Yourself It's Later Than You Think is commonly misconceived as The Specials - Enjoy Yourself It's Better Than You Think
Enjoy the facts!
Is that Prince buster?sounds like him
IT was a cover.
SKA NO DEAD! 🕴️
Yep me baby young Scott skinhead only 57 yrs young hahahahaha
The impending nuclear apocalypse brought me here.
Nwi
Kon kon the project movie dakke aya hainn😂😢… its later than you think ❤
Go to school - learn the rules - don't be a faker - it's not wise for you to be a foot stool
Lots of people still like the Specials, it reminds them of their youth ! ruclips.net/video/H--nbrykaxg/видео.html
I thought it was 'It's not wise for you to be a poltroon' but apparently not. Shame.
Hello! I’m Benton! And I’m going to enjoy myself first!
