| Married to the king of the Underworld
|
| Livin' it up on top
|
| Trying to enjoy myself
|
| Livin' it, livin' it up
|
| Six months out of every twelve
|
| Livin' it up on top
|
| When the sun is high, brother, so am I
|
| Drinking dandelion wine
|
| Brother, I’m as free as a honeybee
|
| In a summertime frame of mind
|
| And when my man comes around
|
| Oh, I know he’s gonna bring me down
|
| But for now I’m livin' it
|
| How are you livin' it?
|
| Livin' it, livin' it up
|
| Brother, right here I’m livin' it
|
| Where are you livin' it?
|
| Livin' it up on top!
|
| Now why would a man of his own free will--
|
| He’s talking about your man!
|
| -- go to work all day in the mine, in the mill?
|
| You think I give a damn?
|
| Why would he trade the sunshine--
|
| Tell him how it is, brother!
|
| -- for a couple of nickels and dimes?
|
| Oh, up on top a man can breathe when he’s-
|
| Livin' it, livin' it up
|
| Picking fruit in the orchard trees
|
| Livin' it up on top
|
| No one here’s a millionaire, but we’re-
|
| Livin' it, livin' it up
|
| What we have, we have to share!
|
| Livin' it up on top
|
| Come on! |
| Say, brother, give me a lyre and a campfire
|
| And an open field at night
|
| Give me the sky that you can’t buy
|
| Or sell at any price
|
| And I’ll give you a song for free
|
| ‘Cause that’s how life oughta be!
|
| So that’s how I’m livin' it!
|
| How are you livin' it?
|
| Livin' it, livin' it up
|
| Oh, brother, right here we’re livin' it
|
| Where are you livin' it?
|
| Livin' it up on top
|
| And that is how the summer went
|
| Oh, I’m just getting started!
|
| Oh, the flowers bloomed and the fruit got ripe
|
| Who says times are hard?
|
| And the lovers took each other by the hand
|
| Anybody want a drink?
|
| And danced underneath the sky
|
| Up on top we ain’t got much
|
| But we’re-
|
| Livin' it, livin' it up
|
| Just enough to fill our cups
|
| Livin' it up on top
|
| Brother, pass that bottle around, cause we’re-
|
| Livin' it, livin' it up
|
| Let the poet bless this round!
|
| To the patroness of all of this: Persephone!
|
| Here, here!
|
| To the sunshine and the fruit of the vine
|
| She gives us every year
|
| Asking nothing in return, except that we should live
|
| And learn to live as brothers in this life
|
| And to trust she will provide
|
| If no one takes too much, there will always be enough
|
| She will always fill our cups
|
| And we will always raise them up!
|
| (spoken)
|
| Let the world we dream about be the one we live in now!
|
| (takes a drink)
|
| ‘Cause right now we’re livin' it-
|
| How are you livin' it?
|
| Livin' it, livin' it up
|
| Brother, right here we’re livin' it
|
| Where are you livin' it?
|
| Listen here, I’ll tell you where we’re livin' it!
|
| Up on top!
|
| Up on top!
|
| Livin' it up and we ain’t gonna stop!
|
| Livin' it, livin' it
|
| Livin' it, livin' it
|
| Livin' it up on top! |
