It's Great to Be Alive |
It’s great to be alive |
To work from nine to five |
To have a piece of land to farm |
It’s great to be alive |
To have a car to drive |
And have your baby on your arm |
In spite of bills |
And other minor ills |
Somehow we manage to survive |
It’s great to be in love |
To have a roof above |
And watch the little ones around |
Your own descendant |
Deductable dependents |
It’s great to be alive |
It’s great to be alive |
(It's great to be here and kickin') |
To work from nine to five |
(To hear an alarm clock tickin') |
And have a piece of land to farm |
(It's really a kick to cultivate chickens on a little ol' farm) |
It’s great to be alive |
(It's up to work and strivin') |
To have a car to drive |
(Then take your girl to a drive-in) |
And swing your baby on your arm |
(To know that at five you’re really arrivin', she’ll be holding your arm) |
In spite of bills |
(Even though the bills just pile up by the million) |
And other minor ills |
(We manage to find the proper pills) |
Somehow me manage to survive |
(To lose the little ills, straight, that really is great) |
It’s great to be alive |
(That girl to love you) |
To have a roof above |
(That roof above you |
To watch the little ones arrive) |
(Especially with the little ones arrivin' and all that jive) |
Your own descendants |
(Your descendants) |
Deductable dependents |
(In attendance) |
It’s great, it’s great to be alive |
We’re livin', thanksgivin' |
It’s great to be alive |
