Live a Little

My guardian angel

Just resigned (My ship of happiness is sunk)

I'm in a monumental bind (I'm in a stupefying funk)

"Look for the silver lining"

(Somewhere the sun is shining)

They wrote that song when they were drunk

On only one thing we can rely

We're only born to die di-di-ay-die-die

If that's our swan song

They're 'bout to blow

Let's sneak in one last bow diddi-oh-do-do

(Do-do-do-do)

Before we throw in the towel

What say we live a little

What say we give a little

That college try

Before the freaks play us foul

And paint things black a little

Let's give 'em back a little

Right in the eye

As long as little men in derbys

Come to whisk you away

Quicker than it takes to swat a fly

Let's let them say it's because

We overdid a little

Let's lift the lid a little

As we go by

Before they nail down that six-foot crate

Addressed to St. Peter's gate

Let's live a little (live a little, live a little)

You and I

As long as little old relations

Rush to probate your will

Quicker than it takes the ink to dry

Let's let them have it, but first

Let's spend the loot a little

Let's root-toot-toot a little

Let's go get high

Before we give up the ghost

And go to help the make daisies grow

Let's live a little (live a little)

Live a little, you and I!
