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
