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 fella 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 wearing black.
And Cathy's Clown has Don and Phil where they feel like
they could die.
If we keep on losin' our singers like that,
I'll be the only one you can buy!
Let's think about livin' let's think about life.(x2) Fade
