When there is no tomorrow
The happiest place on earth, or
The last place you want to go is
At the heart of the image, where
Between love and madness lies obsession
When you care enough to send the very best
Think big, or think small, for nothing is
Impossible, just as impossible is nothing
Make believe. Save money, live better
Eat fresh. Twist the cap to refreshment and
Reach out to touch someone
When the world zigs, zag
Get N or get out. Expand your mind
Change your world. Fly the friendly sky
Share moments, share life
Let your finger do the walking
Just do it and have it your way
If you want to impress someone
Put him on your blacklist, as it
Keeps going and going and going
And make the most of now
Because you’re worth it
See what we mean?
