Let's Think About Living

One, two, three, four

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
