In every other song that I hear lately, some fellow gets shot
And his baby and his best friend both die with him, as likely as not
In half to the other songs some cats cry, are ready to die
We've lost most all of our happy people and I'm a wonderin' why.
Chorus::
Let's think about livin'
Let's think about lovin'
Let's think about the hoopin' and the hoppin'
and the boppin' and the lovey, lovey dovin
Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
and the shootin' and the dyin' and the fellow
with the switch blade knief
Let's think about livin'-let's think about life.
We lost ol' Marty Robbins down in El Paso a little while back
And now Miss Patty Page or one of them is a wearin' black
And Cathy's Clown has Don and Phil
Where it feels like they could die
If we keep on a losin' our singers like that,
I'll be the only one you can buy.
Chorus X 2
Tag and fade
Let's think about livin' - Let's think about life
Let's think about livin - Let's think about life
Lets Think About Living
