| In every other song that I’ve heard lately
|
| Some fellow gets shot
|
| And his baby and his best friend both die with him
|
| As likely as not
|
| In half of the other songs some cats cryin'
|
| Well I wish I could die
|
| Lost most of our happy people
|
| I’ma wonderin' why
|
| Let’s think about livin', let’s think about lovin'
|
| Let’s think about the hoopin' and the hoppin'
|
| And the boppin' and the lovey, lovey dovin'
|
| Let’s forget about the whinin'
|
| The cryin', the shootin' and the dyin'
|
| The fellow with the switch blade knife
|
| Let’s think about livin', let’s think about life
|
| We lost ol' Marty Bobbins
|
| Down in El Paso a hile back
|
| And now Miss Patty Page or one of them
|
| Is a wearin' black
|
| And Cathy’s Clown has Don and Phil
|
| Where they feel like they could die
|
| If we keep on a 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 the hoopin' and the hoppin'
|
| And the boppin' and the lovey, lovey dovin'
|
| Let’s forget about the whinin'
|
| The cryin', the shootin' and the dyin'
|
| The fellow with the switch blade 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 the hoopin' and the hoppin'
|
| And the boppin' and the lovey, lovey dovin'
|
| Let’s forget about the whinin'
|
| The cryin', the shootin' and the dyin'
|
| The fellow with the switch blade knife
|
| Let’s think about livin', let’s think about life
|
| Let’s think about livin', let’s think about life |
