Lyrics

There are chicks just ripe for some kissin' And I mean to kiss me a few! Man those chicks don't know what they're missin', I got a lot of living to do! Sizzlin' steaks all ready for tastin' And there's Cadillacs all shiny and new! Gotta move, cause time is a-wastin', I got a lot of livin' to do! There's music to play Places to go, people to see! Everything for you and me! Life's a ball If only you know it And it's all just waiting for you You're alive, So come on and show it Yeah we got a lot of livin' to do There are men with childhood behind them Handsome men From Yale or Purdue Older men and I'm gonna find them I got a lot of living to do I'm a'gonna have fun Gonna be wild Have my own way I may break—a heart today Drink champagne As if it were water Pink champagne And after a few Daddy dear, you won't know your daughter She's got a lot of living to do Think I'll be a ring a ding drummer Make each week a thousand or two Gorgeous girls will beg for my number Hey I got a lot of living to do Yes I'm gonna break out Gonna take off Gonna be free This town is awfully square for a guy like me Or I'll be a super jet pilot Fly me high way out in the blue Then they'll see I'm no shrinking violet Hey I got a lot of living to do I got a lot of living to do Birdie, Hugo, and Kim: There's music to play Places to go, people to see! Everything For you and me! Life's a ball If only you know it Yeah it's all just waiting for you Ah you're alive, So come on and show it We got a lot of livin' Such a lot of livin' Tonight's the night we're gonna fly Let's kick this hick town in the hide I want a taste of everything Let's live it up and really swing Got a lot of living living living to do Live!
