Let's Think About Livin'

In every other song that I've heard lately

Some fella gets shot

And his baby and his best friend

Both die with him as likely as not

In half of the other songs

Some cat's crying or ready to die

We've lost most all of our happy people

And I'm wondering why

Let's think about living

(Think about living)

Let's think about loving

(Think about loving)

Let's think about the whooping and a-hopping

And a-bopping and a-loving lovie dovie

Let's forget about the wine and the crying

And the shooting and the dying

And the fella with the switchblade knife

Let's think about living

(Think about living)

Let's think about life

We lost old Marty Robbins

Down in El Paso a little while back

And now Miss Patty Page

One of them is wearing black

Cathy's clowns got Don and Phil

Where they feel like they could die

If we keep on losing our singers like that

I'll be the only one you can buy

Think about living

(Think about living)

Let's think about loving

(Think about loving)

Let's think about the whooping and a-hopping

And a-bopping and a-loving lovie dovie

Let's forget about the wine and the crying

And the shooting and the dying

And the fella with the switchblade knife

Let's think about living

(Think about living)

Let's think about life

(Think about life)

Alright

Let's think about living

(Think about living)

Let's think about loving

(Think about loving)

Let's think about the whooping and a-hopping

And a-bopping and a-loving lovie dovie

Let's forget about the wine and the crying

And the shooting and the dying

And the fella with the switchblade knife

Let's think about living

(Think about living)

Let's think about life

(Think about life)

Now let's go

Let's think about living

(Think about living)

Let's think about loving

(Think about loving)

Let's think about the whooping and a-hopping

And a-bopping and a-loving lovie dovie

Let's forget about the wine and the crying

And the shooting and the dying

And the fella with the switchblade knife

Let's think about living

(Think about living)

Let's think about life

(Think about life)

Let's think about living

(Think about living)
