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 songs
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 boppin’
and the lovie lovie dovin’
let’s forget about the whinin’ and the cryin’
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 old el paso a little while back
and now miss patti page or one of them
is awearing black
and cath’s clown has don and phil
where they feel like athey could die
if we keep on alosin’ our singers like that
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’
let’s forget about the whinin’ and the cryin’
and the shooting and the dying
and the fellow with a switchblade knife
let’s think about living
let’s think about life
