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 |
|
Deductible 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) |
|
Deductible dependents |
|
(In attendance) |
|
It's great, it's great to be alive |
|
We're livin', thanksgivin' |
|
It's great to be alive |
