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 songs
 Some cat's crying or ready to die
 We've lost most all of our happy people
 And I'm wondering why
 Let's think about livin'
 Let's think about lovin'
 Let's think about the whoopin' and the hoppin'
 And the boppin' and the lovin', lovie-dovie
 Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
 And the shootin' and the dying
 And the fellow with a switchblade knife
 Let's think about livin'
 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-wearin' 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'
 Let's think about the whoopin' and the hoppin'
 And the boppin' and the lovin', lovie-dovie
 Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
 And the shootin' and the dying
 And the fellow with a switchblade knife
 Let's think about livin'
 Let's think about life
 Let's think about livin'
 Let's think about lovin'
 Let's think about the whoopin' and the hoppin'
 And the boppin' and the lovin', lovie-dovie
 Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
 And the shootin' and the dying
 And the fellow with a switchblade knife
 Let's think about livin'
 Let's think about life
 Let's think about livin'
 Let's think about life
 Let's think about livin'
