Let’s Think About Living

In every other song that I’ve heard lately

some fellow gets shot

as likely as not

In half of the other songs some Cat’s crying

or ready to die

and I’m wondering why

Let’s think about living, let’s think about loving

Let’s think about the whoopin’ and hoppin and boppin’

And the lovie lovie dovin’

And the shooting and the dying

And the fellow with a switchblade knife

Let’s think about living, let’s think about life

We lost old Marty Robbins down in

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 they could die

I’ll be the only one you can buy

Let’s think about living, let’s think about loving

Let’s think about the whoopin’ and hoppin and boppin’

And the lovie lovie dovin’

And the shooting and the dying

And the fellow with a switchblade knife

Let’s think about living let’s think about life

Let’s think about living, let’s think about loving

Let’s think about the whoopin’ and hoppin and boppin’

And the lovie lovie dovin’

And the shooting and the dying

And the fellow with a switchblade knife

Let’s think about living, let’s think about life

Let’s think about living, let’s think about life

Let’s think about living, let’s think about life

Let’s think about living, let’s think about life
