Tell me what you would prefer
  A daffodil or a diamond
  It don't matter if you say the latter,
  No!
  It's like if you were given the sun
  You take the moon
  And something you wanted so bad
  Suddenly it ain't so cool
  If I were you I'd choose
  A daffodil, not a diamond
  And save 'em up,
  For a rainy day, rainy day
  It's just a day away
  And you may have the last one of its kind
  (aah, oooo ooooo)
  Oh yes you might
    So when they come to buy
  Your last precious flower
  On the server
  A million diamonds they will pay
  And you'll tell 'em no way, no way
  That's right
  Don't exchange a daffodil for a diamond
    Just save 'em up
  For a rainy day, rainy day
  It's just a day away
  And you may have the last one of its kind
  (aah, oooo ooooo)
    The end of the world turns to just fairy dust
  What a pretty gravestone it would make
  And you'd live under some other bright sun
  Yeah, that's a good one
  (oooo ooooo)
    Just save 'em up
  For a rainy day, rainy day
  It's just a day away
  And you may have the last one of its kind
    Save 'em up
  For a rainy day, rainy day
  It's just a day away
  And you may have the last one of its kind
  (aah, oooo ooooo)
    You know it, baby
