You stop at a stand for cold lemonade
'Cause the sun's beating down, so go find the shade
It's getting hotter
Don't teeter-totter
Better finish before your ice turns to water
Hey buddy, take life by the reins
Play with the bubbles before they go down the drain
Make a decision
It's not long division
Take it while the takin's good
Oh yeah, take it while the takin's good
Then you waited in line for your favorite treat
So just take a bite, don't stare at your feet
If you don't think quick and take a lick
Your ice cream bar will fall off the stick
Hey buddy, take a confident stance
Don't head for the door before the last dance
When the band says "one more"
Step out on the floor
Take it while the takin's good
Oh yeah, take it while the takin's good
Hey buddy, step up to the plate
The fastball is coming so don't hesitate
When there's a chocolate meringue
Well, sizzle and bang
Take it while the takin's good
Don't miss the buffet before they take it away
Take it while the takin's good
When the band says one more
Step out on the floor
Take it while the takin's good
Oh yeah, take it while the takin's good
Amen, take it while the takin's good
