In every other song that I've heard lately some fellow gets shot
|
And his baby and his best friend both died with him as likely as not
|
In half of the other songs some cat's cryin' are ready to die
|
We've lost most all of our happy people and I'm a wonderin' why
|
Let's think about livin' let's think about lovin'
|
Let's think about the hoopin' and the hoppin' and a boppin' and the lovey dovey dovin'
|
Let's forget about a whinin' and the cryin' and the shootin' and the dyin'
|
And the fellow with a switchblade knife
|
Let's think about livin' let's think about life
|

|
we lost ol' Marty Robbins back in El Paso a little while back
|
And now Miss Patti Page are one of them wearin' black
|
Cathy's Clown's has Don & Phil Where they feel like a-they could die
|
If we keep on losin' our singers like that I'll be the only one you can buy
|
Let's think about livin'...
|
Let's think about livin'...
|
Let's think about livin' let's think about life
|
