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

[CHORUS]
Let's think about living
(Think about living)
Let's think about loving
(Think about loving)
Let's think about the
Hooping and the hopping
And the bopping and
The lovey, lovey doving
Let's forget about
The whining and the crying
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 wearing black

And Cathy's Clown has Don and Phil
Where they feel like they could die
If we keep on losing our singers like that
I'll be the only one you can buy

CHORUS 2x]

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
