|
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 |
