Let's Think About Living

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 song Some cat's crying or ready to die We've lost most of our happy people And I'm wondering why Let's think about living Let's think about loving Let's think about the whoopin' and hoppin' And the boppin' and the lovie, lovie dovin' Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin' And the shootin' and the dyin' And the fellow with the switchblade knife Let's think about livin' Let's think about life We lost ole Marty Robbins Down in old El Paso a little while back And now Miss Patti Page, or one of them Is a-wearing black And Cathy's Clown has Don and Phil Where they feel like a-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' Lets think about the whoopin' and hoppin' And boppin' and the lovie, lovie dovin' Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin' And the shootin' and the dyin' And the fellow with the switchblade knife Let' think about livin' Let's think about life Let's think about livin' Let's think about life Let's think about livin' Let's think about life
