| In every other song that I’ve heard lately some fellow get shot
|
| And his baby and his best friend both died with him as likely as nut
|
| 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 hoopin' and a hopin' and a poppin' and a lovey dovey dovin'
|
| Let’s forget about a whinnin' and a cryin' and a shootin' and a dyin'
|
| And a fellow with a switchblade knife
|
| Let’s think about livin' let’s think about life
|
| Well we lost ol' Marty Robbins back in El Paso a little while back
|
| And now Miss Mary John or one of them girls they’re wearin' black
|
| Cathy’s Clown’s got Don and Phil so lonesome 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 lovin'
|
| Let’s think about hoopin' and a hopin' and a poppin' and a lovey dovey dovin'
|
| Let’s forget about a whinnin' and a cryin' and a shootin' and a dyin'
|
| And a fellow with a switchblade knife
|
| Let’s think about livin' let’s think about life
|
| Let’s think about livin' let’s think about lovin'
|
| Let’s think about hoopin' and a hopin' and a poppin' and a lovey dovey dovin'
|
| Let’s forget about a whinnin' and a cryin' and a shootin' and a dyin'
|
| And a fellow with a switchblade knife
|
| Let’s think about livin' let’s think about life
|
| Let’s think about livin' let’s think about life |
