Blog Schedule

I post on Monday with an occasional random blog thrown in for good measure. I do my best to answer all comments via email and visit around on the days I post.

Alternatives for Enjoy


Alternatives is a recurring post in which I give synonyms for an over used word. Click on the tab above for a "complete" list of over used words.



Today's word is:

ImageChef.com - Get codes for Facebook, Hi5, MySpace and more

I've skipped ahead in my list to this one because... It's been a rough couple of weeks and I needed something to help me out of my funk. ENJOY!

Depending on how you use it, this list may come in handy for finding another way to say the same thing.

Do any of these jump out at you and demand to be taken home? Being titillated kind of titillates me. 


And this really does say it all.



"Enjoy Yourself"

Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me
You better enjoy yourself
You better enjoy yourself

You sittin' over there
Starin' into space
While people are dancin'
Dancin' all over the place

You shouldn't worry
About the things you can't control
Come on girl while the night is young
Why don't you make yourself race
Make yourself go

Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me

Let's have some fun
Let's have a good time you and me
Sittin' there with your poked out
Just as sweet as you can be

Why don't you live
Live the life you got
Come on girl, let's get it
While the feelin' is gettin' hot and hot

Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me

Hey there girl, I've been watchin' you
I can wipe away that frown
Oh, you and I can get together
We can tear the house down
We can tear the house down
We can tear the whole house down

Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me
You better enjoy yourself
You got to enjoy yourself

(Enjoy yourself) Enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) Get on down
(Enjoy yourself) Enjoy Yourself
(Get down, get down) Get on down
(Enjoy yourself) Enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) Just get on down
(Enjoy yourself) Enjoy Yourself
(Get down, get down) Just get on down

(Come on) Come on
(Come on) Come on
(Come on) Come on (Come on)
You can do it, you can do it
You can do it, you can do it
Hey, hey, hey
Get on down

(Enjoy yourself) Enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) Get on down
(Enjoy yourself) Enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) Just get on down

  4. Love the video and the lyrics are true. We do need to enjoy things- or relish in things. :)

    A wonderful list!

  5. Hi Bish .. sorry about the troublesome times - but enjoying yourself per the Jacksons .. is great - sometimes we just need some 'funky' music to cheers us up...

    Hope you can pick yourself up, dust yourself off and enjoy some fairy dust in your life ..

    Happy weekend .. and that list is amazing .. cheers Hilary
